It is identical to the 3M with the exception of the selenium light meter, instant return mirror and engraving of ‘Zenit E’ to the prism. Both features appeared on the Zenit-E. Also to note, strap lugs are horizontal compared with vertical on previous production models.
The photocell frame is clearly of the type further used on Zenit4, 5, and 6 and thegalvanometer and exposure calculator the same used on later Zenit E, EM, ET, and 11. The mirror oscilating mechanics is the same previusly employed on Kristall 2M and further angular Zenit E cameras.
