KMZ Zenit 312m camera

Intro

The Zenit 312m is a 35 mm film SLR that was introduced in the market in 1999. It was manufactured by KMZ and belonged to a line of 35 mm SLR cameras that featured different mounts, designs, and body material. The 312m followed the Zenit 212k, a camera of similar styling and design.

Looks are not the only thing the 312m could be proud of, it also has some neat features that can improve the user experience. The 312m came with a lens that’s considered to be the more modern version of the famous Helios lens — the MC Zenitar-M2s 2/50 lens. Users can try out a variety of shots with the standard lens including macro photography. Colors are quite vibrant and there’s also a tinge of bokeh that can be found in the background. And since it uses the M42 mount, users can try out other lenses to achieve different results as desired.

Some other nifty features include diodes in the viewfinder that help with exposure correction, a combined focusing system (matte ring and wedges), and a semi-automatic exposure metering with the help of the TTL system.
