I currently own four zenits, a TTL now fitted with a cheap 28-55 zoom but supplied with a with a Helios 44M 2/58, an EM with the Helios, an E with the Moshva-80 logo on it, used with my elderly flexar 500mm tele, and a "GLOBAL" with a helios 44 (proudly embossed with MADE IN USSR on it) which, although not strictly a zenit, shares so many parts and features that I call it one. I still use the first three, but the global has a sticky shutter, and has become somewhat unreliable.All of the meters still work accurately, when compared to my handheld. Except the Global, which has none!

I love their simple rugged construction.
