Hi,

This camera only confirms my information, that all cameras starting from Zenit-3 could be found under "Zeniflex" name indeed. I was lucky to see Zenit-3 and Zenit-4 rebranded. Now it's Zenit-3M with very interesting text on the prizm ...

Regards,
Aidas

This also seems like an expo demo camera. A sample to show at conventions.. Viktor had made us happy once more with his exotic selection of cameras!

Indeed, is has "Mashpriporintorg" engraved on the prism, and that was the export company for cameras, radios and clocks etc.

Hi guys,

We learn something new each day!!! I've never even heard of Zeniflex until now, let alone seen one!
Also the engraving on this camera is interesting, "SSSR", is also a first for me, I've seen "USSR" many times, and of course "CCCP", but never before have I seen "SSSR" on a camera.
"MASHPRIPORINTORG", what a tonguetwister this is, though I suppose it becomes easier the more you say it!!!
Very interesting camera, thanks guys,
Best wishes, Jim.

Jim,

Thanks for your comments! And even "Moskva" is engraved in this way, not "Moscow" as it should be ... Anyway I'm not wondering this, while having export camera box with lens "Inductar" reffered on it ...

Best Regards,
Aidas

"MASHPRIBORINTORG" not "MASHPRIPORINTORG". Here is a three-dimendional advertising poster from this export distributor:

Sorry, but it is a very difficult word. Should have checked it as I have two of their magazines, one is also uploaded in the Wiki. Love the poster, as great as Vlads avatar picture from that magazine.

Hi Juhani,
It's actually a sort of counter display that is 3-D. When you move from side to side ... she winks at you! I thought of using it as my avatar ... but didn't want to get you guys all excited all the time! So look down below for two different angles of the plastic photo 3-D Zenit Girl! She winks at you!

Hello friends,

Happy to say, what Viktor Suglob have assisted me to obtain another "totally black" Zeniflex for personal collection. These two "demo" cameras are not otherwise different.
