Found a reference to this unit on zenitcamera.com but no other info (maybe I did not look hard enough), what is this model?

Which was the page you did see? I have never heard of such a camera.
Talking about strange Zenits I saw one year ago an "S19" have anyone heard about?
It was a conventional KM body and no Zenit name in the camera only "S-19" with a fixed lens (non changeable). There was a Mir 20 with automatic diphagm and with fixed focusing and no metric scale (from factory) permanently set at infinity. In the internal frame there was a flat glass with several cross lines (Nine at all)which were also present in the camera screen. In the back of the camera (camera door) there was a depth of field table.

OK Zoom
GM Nothing anormal. You who are the Russian camera Enciclopaedia can say anything about the "S-19"? I know there were sold in Italy
Regards.
Another request. What can you say about "Rodina" of 1952 beyond the Zenit istra or Zenit camera description sites?
It is a very interesting camera.

Thank you Zoom! No wonder I have not seen them, it was just a concept...

...of 1950--1951. See http://www.zenitcamera.com/archive/history/our-tasks-in-1951.html

Btw, http://www.zenit.istra.ru/ and http://www.zenitcamera.com/ is the same site. ;)

As I understand, may be I wrong, only J.L. Princelle have now a documents about this camera...

Zoom
Thanks.
Unhappily I took no pictures of the camera. But I have it on mind and can do drawings if it . But it will take a lot of time...

Another question:
Do you have any information about the "called" "TSVVS-2"?
See at:
http://www.ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=50&ParentID=49&ContentID=316&Item=TSVVS+2++The+Challenge%21
Construction similarities can be seen with original screw thread "TSVVS" seen at: http://www.dvdtechcameras.com/collect/fed/1/18.htm
Thanks in advance.

Just only what, that is described in the Authentic guide...

In my opinion, the name of this camera is not "TSVVS", but "VTS-VS" (Voenno-Topograficheskaya Sluzhba Vooruzhyonnykh Sil).
"Almaz" ( http://www.raspletin.ru/ ) camera production is not confirmed by any documents, this is only Yuriy Davidenko's words ( http://www.dvdtechcameras.com/collect/fed/1/18.htm )... Strange that he keep silence about his sources...
