AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Of the Soviet Zenit-16 SLR camera, produced by the KMZ factory (Krasnogorskij Mechaničeskij Zavod) between 1973 and 1977, a total of 11,114 units were produced.
A difference from other historical models such as the Zenit-E (produced in millions of pieces) is that the Zenit-16 had a very limited distribution due to its construction complexity and high production costs by the standards of the Soviet economy of the time. For this very reason, today it is regarded as an unusual and rather rare model for collectors.
