Already in 1955... I didn't dare to suppose that!
Thanks, Luis!

These curious prototypes were the first câmeras to have the exposure meter needle and scale visible through the finder! at frame right.

Thanks, Guido!

A question more, if I may.
On Contax III/Kiev III, the turret bears three crowns corresponding to the speeds, the diaphs and the sensibility of films. All is manual. And it's the needle which shows if the adjusting speed/diaph is correct or not.

Is it the same here? Is there such a needle? Is there something coupled? Perhaps Zoom's link explains all that, but the translation is somewhat incomprehensible...

Thanks. Jacques.

Bonsoir Jacques

But where are the speeds shown? There is a small window for that on the Contax S. There is nothing on this Zenit L.



There is such a window on the back.

Marvelous, Ilya! And thanks for the photos!

Just one question (rather two...)
The button "à la Contax S" is the speed dial, like on the Contax S, I suppose.
But where are the speeds shown? There is a small window for that on the Contax S. There is nothing on this Zenit L.

The turret has the same functions as on the Contax III/Kiev III, I suppose? Finally, what can be seen inside the viewer?

Thanks! Jacques.
