Salyut 1 (DOS 1) was the first Salyut space station, and the first human-made space station of any kind.
Salyut was moved to higher orbits in July and August of 1971 to ensure that it would not end through early orbital decay.
Pravda (October 26, 1971) reported that the Salyut tasks were carried out in 75 percent of the cases by optical means, in 20 percent by radio-technical means, and the small balance by magneto-metrical, gravitational, and other studies.

 Salyut: the first space statio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Salyut ("salute" or "fireworks" in Russian) blasted into orbit in 1971 - well before the predicted 1972 launch of the American station Skylab.
Salyut's first crew could not even enter the station because of a damaged docking mechanism on their entry craft.
In the end, the tragedy of Salyut 1 was a rude awakening for the Soviets that prompted them to take spacecraft design far more seriously and adopt a more thorough approach to launching people into space.

I am interested particularly in the Salyut due to (price, obviously) but I suspect that the quality of construction and materials used may have been better, back in the Soviet days (where people didn't wait 6 weeks to get paid, had some sort of political stability etc.) Then again, maybe I am wrong.

 Matt's Cameras: Salyut-C
Lenses for this camera are "B" mount, same as Hasselblad screw mount, as opposed to the P6 or C mount, the bayonet mount found on Praktisix and Kiev 60.
Earlier Salyuts and their lenses had a different aperture coupling than the Salyut-C and the lenses are not interchangable unless this coupling is removed from those lenses.
Much more likely is that the Salyut is simply a Russki copy of the Hasselblad 1000F or 1600F, notably it was introduced years after the Hasselblad, and I don't think there's any real evidence that Z-I was ever working on a camera of this type.
