Hello my name is Nikos Papadopoulos and I am from Greece. Before a year I bought from Praga a Zenit TTL inexcellent condition and also a flash. Recently a friend of mine gave me a Zenit 11 in very good condition except the lightmeter that does not works.

Greetings Nikos from U.S.A Zenit's are good basic cameras with a lot of lenses available, The meter is dead, more than likely the cell is dead. Still quite usable.[:)] Welcome and hope to hear from you often. Don

Welcome Nick! Now you need to get a nice Zenit-E.. In my opinion it's the best Zenit [:)]. No batteries needed and it has the lightmeter!

Just yesterday received a gift box from a friend in Poland. It was two Smena cameras. One was passed on to my sister and the other Smena 6 is in me hands for now, rotation between the two is considered elementary!
Quite excited with the site of them both, they look like they could start talking to me! I cannot wait to start taking pictures, but the manual that me mate sent was for another one and besides the basic handling, which I have got through and ‘basically’ understood, I can’t really understand the way to load and unload the film.
I have been using an Olympus OM4 for years now, still not into digital (not even a cheapy one – although i should for the sake of experimentation), and really looking forward to trying out the Smena 6.
I should send you all some photos of it, it was bought @ a flea market, but what I would like to ask for (before SALUTING <b>EVERYONE IN THE FORUM !!!) </b> is IF <i><b>ANY ONE KNOWS WHERE I COULD FIND A SMENA 6 MANUAL</b></i>.
All the Best,
<b>ZanManFu</b>
