The question what I have is where cameras like Zenit 510,520,610, and 620 made?
The paperwork what I got with my cameras clearly say that these cameras
"Made by workers of Krasnogorsk factory Zvereva" (by KMZ),
please see this statement on the last page of manuals (in Russian):
http://www.ussrphoto.com/Wiki/Content/files/1579/Zenit520.pdf
So I started change the Wiki descriptions, but then I have second thoughts.
Many reputable members from this forum thinking that these cameras made in China. Undid cameras in question looks like Chinese made, but if this is true then would that means that KMZ forged documents claiming that they the one who made these camera.
Does anybody have prove about China origin of this cameras?

So can we conclude that Zenit 510-620 was assembled by KMZ from components made in China ?
Was there any difference between Skina and Zenit cameras or Zenit is exact copy?
Was any of the parts for these cameras made in Russia, or all cameras made only from exported parts?
Does any variation (experimental, pre series cameras) known ?
