Help with my Zenit 12 (original model)

Hello Everyone,

I have tried everywhere to find help for a simple problem. I have an original Zenit 12 (no other marks, its a plain 12). It was my first film SLR, got it about 2-3 years ago.

The light meter dial has loosened from the actual selector switch. It does not have click stops. The dial has no mark to show how to put it on the selector.

This makes the internal light meter useless as I have no idea what ISO setting is chosen.

If anyone here has a plain Zenit 12, could they please share a photo of the dial with the rewind crank lifed, and the locations of the screw holes as set by KMZ?

Thanks!

Eric,

is this what you need?

Actually yes, however mine is in ISO rather than GOST. I have to wonder if the calibration point is the same on all cameras or not. If not, I have a massive headache figuring out what position is what ISO.

You would think KMZ would had marked it in marker or pen or something.

Thank you though Vlad, I will give it a try tonight.

Hmm... I must have an older Zenit-12
