| Interesting. Did you notice item 'K' at the bottom as well? Doesn't look like a re-badged FSU camera. Wonder what it mdoel it really is? |

Hello
The camera in question don't look like a Zenit-E (look at the speed wheel). Quantaray is a trademark of Ritz Camera in the US. The camera could be a rebranded Topcon or Cosina.
Best wishes - Guido

Alfa, they made black Zenit-E's for export. With "Zenit" on one side and "E" on the other.
Cheers,
Vlad |

Hello "Alfa2"
Your answer was the next of the one of Sean about the "K" camera and not the "C". But okay, the "C" is a black Zenit-E, that's evident.
Best wishes - Guido

You're right Guido. I have been reading this thread in few steps when new posts appiered. And this was the reason.
Vlad, thanks for the photo of black Zenit E. I never treated Zenit E like object for collectors because I have used 2 Zenits E few years (silver ones made in Krasnogorsk) in 70's and first half of 80's. They were quite well done, better than later models of Zenit. Those days I dreamed about Zenit TTL or 12XP. You know, I wanted to have TTL metering. Finally it managed to buy Zenit 12XP. I don't remember if I described here (in this forum) how I managed to do this. In communism it was not so easy. |
