So, you have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky today? Unfortunately, I don't have the snarl down like Clint Eastwood.
Here it is. Untested (as any good FSU camera should be), and it seems to be OK. The shutter works on all the speeds but B for some reason, and the curtains are in excellent shape. The meter is working, but you have to be a nuclear physicist or something to figure out how to read it. Viewfinder needs cleaning. There are some dirty spots in there that cleaning the focus screen on the bottom didn't seem to address. The mirror is good, and there is no sign of the usual prism desilvering down the middle of the viewfinder. The whole camera could do w/ a good cleaning.
I'll even throw in a free, beater black Zenit TTL parts camera that has a shutter curtain that has come detached on one end (although it still fires, and the curtains otherwise look fine) and needs the door latch fixed. $6 plus $12 insured and tracked priority mail shipping. I have a Helios lens for sale here too if you are interested in a package deal. US sale please.
