I am a user, more than a collector, but I seem to be buying so many different types of Zenit at the moment I wonder if I may become a collector! I am interested in the Former Soviet Union and Russia in general, as they have a unique apporach to art and design that gives their products and art, their own aesthetic appeal. I like the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, and another film I have discovered recently, "Man With a Movie Camera" by Dziga Vertov. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1fxbcgptFA http://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Nymans-Man-Movie-Camera/dp/B0017QMXLU/
My Soviet (and post-soviet) camera collection is what you would expect of a user - no rarities...
I have two Arax converted Kiev 88s - a straight 88, and an 88cm, with Arsat 80mm f2.8 (Volna-3), Vega 28b 120mm f2.8, Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 50mm f4, Sonnar 180mm f2.8
Kiev 6c with Vega 12b 90mm f2.8
Zenit B (3 of them, with Industar 50-2 lenses, and a Helios 44-2 Zenit 11 (my grandfather's old camera) Zenit 412ls - brand new but the DX system does not work Zenit 122
Jupiter 9 85mm f2 lens
That's not very interesting to collectors, but these items are all of great interest to me... I have a flickr stream at...
