  Zenit spy satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zenit (Russian: Зени́т, Zenith) is the name of a series of military spy satellites launched by the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1994.
Most Zenits flew in a slighty elliptical orbit with an apogee of around 200 km and a perigee between 250 km and 350 km; the missions usually lasted between 8 and 15 days.
The first Zenit launch attempt took place on the 11 November 1961, but there was a fault in the rocket’s third stage and the spacecraft was destroyed using its destruct charge.

 Zenit (camera) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zenit is a Russian camera brand manufactured by the KMZ factory (Krasnogorskiy Mekhanicheskiy Zavod) near Moscow since 1952 and by BelOMO in Belarus since the 1970s.
The Zenit trademark is primarily associated with 35mm SLR cameras.
One oddity of the Zenit camera range is the so-called FotoSnaiper (or Photosniper) kit, which consists of a case (either leather or metal) a gunstock and shoulderstock, filters, a 300 mm Tair lens, a normal lens and a Zenit adapted for the gunstock (recognizable by the s designation, Zenit-ES, 122s etc.).

 zenite
All together around 5 million Zenit E cameras were made which explains why it is very common - at least in the UK where it was a popular budget choice in the 1970’s.
Zenit E cameras are good solid cameras - but unfortunately they were made in such large numbers that there are still many around.
The Zenit E does not have a hot shoe - so you need to connect the lead to the socket next to where 'ZENIT E' is written on the front of the top plate.

 Zenit-2
Zenit was to be a modular new generation medium Soviet launch vehicle, replacing the various ICBM-derived launch vehicles in use since the 1960's (Tsyklon and R-7 derivatives).
Zenit development began in March 1976 in accordance with the specifications of GUKOS-MO. The Chief designer was V F Utkin at KB Yuzhnoye, with V P Radovskiy at KB Energomash being responsible for the engines, V G Sergeyev at NPO Elektropribor being responsible for the guidance system.
The launch was critical in restoring confidence in the Zenit vehicle prior to planned commercial launches of Globalstar satellites from Baikonur and the first Sea Launch flights using a three-stage Zenit from a California-based floating launch platform.

 Zenit - Ukraine and Space Transportation Systems
From its inception, the Zenit program was assigned a dual purpose: (1) develop a new low-cost, 15-metric-ton capacity launch vehicle and (2) design its first stage as a strap on booster for the Energiya heavy-lift launch vehicle.
The Zenit was intended to replace the Soyuz-U launch vehicle for many programs, but economic and political forces combined to prevent Zenit from becoming a major part of the Russian space transportation infrastructure.
However, Zenit picked up two new programs in 1994 and is slated to be one of the principal logistics links for the International Space Station (References 445-455).

The Zenit S or C was manufactured between 1955-1961 being a minor upgrade incorporating flash syncronisation and a new rewind mechanism as first seen on the Zorki 6.
The ZENIT E appears to have the ability of setting of the shutter speeds armed (meaning cocked shutter) and disarmed, however I would always advise you to cock the shutter before setting the shutter speed.

 ACP - Zenit-E
These "Zenits", the name referring to the point in the heavens directly above the ground, were produced till 1956 in a production run of almost 40.000.
From then on all Zenit cameras had a thumb wind and a proper rewind wheel, which both took the place of the Zorki's unpractical thumb wheels.
What you see is a Zorki-like camera, or older Zenit, with a rewind knob annex exposure calculator reminiscent of the Zenit-3M's, and a frontside external light meter with a large serial-produced protect ion lid which reads "ZENIT", and which most likely came from a Kiev rangefinder camera.

Fantastically cheap - this one was bought for £1, and donated by W. South June 2001, fully functioning except for dust in the prism and a sticky return spring on the advance lever both of which were easily sorted.
It's very easy to poke fun at a Zenit, but the Jupiter lens is really quite nice and once you get accustomed to the quirks, the results obtained are dictated more by the photographer than the camera.
It's interesting to see the original Leica inspiration in the Zenit, if you happened to have an example of each in pieces in front of you, the shutter release mechanism in particular would look very familiar....
