My first proper camera was a Zenit E. The olympic model
Was a good camera.
I got a Praktika MTL 5 too. But it was unreliable.
I got rid of them.
Recently I saw one in a junk shop. But it didnt work. Well not after I tried to fix it.

WOWZERS! My first good camera was a Zenit-E .....I got it from my dad when he progressed onto a Nikon FM (or similar) I had the full kit.....Photsniper, filters etc! The pics it took were amazing and it was a joy to use...heavy as f*ck though. Interestingly, I was on hoilday in Cornwall a couple of years back and there was a guy having a garage sale.....he had a little sign saying 'take anything you like and post through the letterbox what you think its worth'There was an immaculate Zenit EM sitting there in its case so I slipped a crispy £10 through the letter box and was well pleased with myself |

I have a Zenit-E Moscow olympics edition - great camera! Really solid and nice to use. I collect retro cameras... that reminds me, I have to post up my little collection. I don't have any Lomos (Been priced out due to scene tax  ) but I have a few interesting ones. |

Nice set-up there! I have a Zenit 11, it's a great piece of kit. I love the way it makes the photos I take look 30 years old!

You can still get Smenas quite cheap though. Lomos do take great unique photos, so I reckon the popularity is deserved... I'm just bitter cos I can't afford one! ;D |

the only problem with it is its silver! black cameras are the only way! Mines a TTL but its just as curse word at metering as the early ones.. It takes photos like this   GRAIN FTW!! |

Very nice, love to see old kits like that complete with the case.
I've got an Olympus OM1 & few bits, including the rare 55mm f1.2 lense. Really must use it more.

I'm just bitter cos I can't afford one! ;D indeed. i have the fisheye2 and it does wacky photos like no ones business. you can still get the cheap cameras they're based off in flea markets quite easy. theres a diana camera copy made in west germany i keep seeing in this shop for £5, been there for months, i would have bought it only i couldnt open up the back to see what type of film it takes, prob 120. will probably do equally as dodgy pics as a new lomo to be honest. hopefully lomo type cameras wont go mainstream |

christ that's a memory jogger.. my first 35mm was a Zenit XP, can't remember what happened to it but i have the horrible feeling that my parents chucked it when i moved out >.<  that was the one i had had that with standard 50mm lens, a 200mm fixed zoom lens, 2x screw in converter and a shoe-mounting flashgun weighed a ton and was very mechanical to use, i moved on to an om2 olympus though |
