Zenit-E in a Cardboard Box


Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI lens at f/8.
I bought this camera for £28 but the price also included a set of three M42 extension tubes, a Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm f/4 lens, and an early example of the Helios-44 58mm f/2 lens.
The Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm f/4 is a remarkable lens. It was manufactured by Meyer Optik, Gorlitz, between 1963 and 1970 and has 15 aperture blades. It is a preset manual M42 lens, with continuous aperture - the aperture ring has no detents in it, and so it is stepless with a seemingly infinite number of aperture positions. And the Helios-44, which is a a Soviet copy of the Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm ƒ/2 lens, is full of character with its notable bokeh. In fact, only the camera was a disappointment, because the shutter is unreliable.
