odd zenit

People!

Any information about?

Hello Luiz,

I have been told that cameras like this one were made by workers at the KMZ Factory, but during their own non-working hours. They were made to enter into contests that the factory would would sponsor for employees, to get new ideas and create enthusiasm for the products.

I doubt if this camera was made especially for the Olympics, it just was made with an "Olympic Model" and maybe even with the Olympics and sports in mind.

I have also seen on with three lenses attached like that, but on an older Zenit.

Regards, Bill

I believe KMZ made something like this for Start. Only with 3 lenses. I wish I can get it now.

Yes, those are factory made turrets, this one is all homemade. Bill (nightphoto) actually bought this one, it's also in our catalog:
