Hello everyone! I dont know why I did not join this forum earlier, as I have been collecting Soviet made cameras for about 2 years now.
I have been mainly focusing on Zenit SLR's. I dont know why I like them so much, but I love to use them.
So my collection so far:
Zenit 19 (Made in 1982)
This is a pretty standard Zenit 19 with 1/125s Xsync. Mated with a Zenitar-M 50mm f1.7 I got last december. (Before this, a Helios 44M4)
This is the SLR camera I use most. My 19 has never let me down in any situation. (Besides the batteries ending up dead [;)])
Zenit Automat (1990)
I got this camera brand new on eBay for $150. It was amazing to open up a brand new camera that is not so new....it has that new camera smell. Very nice aperture priority K mount SLR
Other Zenits that I have: 122, 12 Plain, TTL Olympic, E, and 3m.
Other Soviet Cameras:
FED-5 with Industar 61LD in Box (1988)
FED Micron 2
Agat 18k
Smena Symbol (needs new top plate, I dropped it [V] )
Lenses:
MIR-10A 28mm f3.5
Helios 44-2, 44M (x2), 44M4, 44K4 MC (All 58mm f2)
Zenitar M 50mm 1.7
If anyone wants to see the photos I have taken, they are on my Flickr:

Be aware that sometimes I will use my Japanese Minolta X-700 or Canon EOS 20D. But most of the photos on my acc are from Soviet made cameras.
