Yes, I know a bit about this classic Soviet SLR camera. It was produced from 1965 to 1982 by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant (KMZ) and was one of the most popular cameras in the USSR. In fact, it's considered a bit of a legend in the world of Soviet photography. The Zenit-E was a 35mm SLR camera that had a pretty standard layout for the time, but it was known for its durability and reliability. It was also produced in huge numbers - over eight million copies, in fact! Interestingly, the Zenit-E was also produced in Belarus, at the BelOMO factory, from 1973 to 1986. So, it was truly a camera that spanned borders within the USSR. Overall, the Zenit-E was a workhorse of a camera that captured the lives and landscapes of the Soviet Union during a fascinating time in history.
