The picture is of a vintage camera. I don't have high hopes in that project but I'll be interested in how it pans out nevertheless. just another hipster camera - Ayoh - 09-07-2017 I predict this will be quite crap just another hipster camera - toni-a - 09-07-2017 Well why not ? get the already fine Zenit film gear, get the digital components (sensor, processor,...) from third party and you have a camera that would sell nicely, maybe it won't competein specs with the best mirrorless around , but with a reasonable price it might well take back the niche previously occupied by Zenit film cameras. just another hipster camera - Brightcolours - 09-07-2017 Already fine Zenit film gear?

I have herd about bargain basement Zenit products that offered very old tech. just another hipster camera - toni-a - 09-07-2017 https://petapixel.com/2016/04/19/zenit-back-first-look-50mm-f0-95-50mm-f1-2-85mm-f1-2/ just another hipster camera - miro - 09-07-2017 Hi Brightcolours, I'm from Netherlands and I have recieved one zenit camera en 50mm lens from my father. tt was my firstcamera, no idea how old I was.
