AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Due to the end of my collection: a 'rare, uncommon' black 35mm Zenit 12XS SLR camera with a 58mm lens and original lens cap. Aside from two listings on eBay, there is little information available about this camera, unlike the Zenit 12XP. The camera has a plastic body, manual focusing, and an M42 screw mount. It was released by Zenit in 1990 and manufactured by the company MMZ (Minsk Mechanical Factory), founded in 1957. The company started producing optical glass and cameras developed by GOMZ. In 1971, it became BelOMO (Belorussian Optical and Mechanical Association). It was based in Minsk, the capital of the former Soviet republic of Belarus.

Shutter: cloth horizontal shutter
Shutter speeds: B, 1/30 - 1/500. All shutter speeds operational.

Lens mount: M42 screw mount

Lens: Helios-44M-4 58mm f/2.0. The lens is clear and free of haze, fungus, and separation.
A very good and fully functional camera with no signs of use. Delivered without batteries. Photos are part of the description.
