In last years of production, after dismantle of Soviet Union, trying to stay on float many manufactories start cutting cost of the production by substituting metal parts with plastic. This black Zenit ET is great example of such practice. Made mostly from plastic it still have Leica hard, and Zenit filling.
In production at the same time was many modification of same camera.
Cameras were fitted with more then 10 variation of lens:
MS Helios 44-3,
Helios 44M-4,
MS Helios 44M-4,
Helios 44M-5,
MS Helios 44M-5,
Helios 44M-6,
MS Helios 44M-6,
MS Helios 44M-7,
MS Helios 77M-4,
Black Industar 50-4(semi confirmed)
And possibly other lenses.
Probably in such strange and difficult times supply was scarce and whatever lens and material BELOMO can find, that was installed and used on the camera. As result many modification of the camera existed.
Major difference is Cameras with Helios 44-3 and Industar 50 luck of automatic aperture control.
Other differences are in shatter buttons and shatter speed wheels.
Also existed bronze colored Zenit ET and old chrome cameras, probably made from old stock parts.
