Zenit 212K with Helios lens!
A K mount camera with a face that only a drunk mother could love. "Quirky".. Works great but I wouldn't trust the meter, because I just wouldn't. It lights and works, but, well, it's a Zenit! You really should go all Jedi with this, and feeeeeel the exposure Luke. Then set it. If the LEDs in the VF happen to agree - swell.
Camera is in great shape, shutter speeds accurate. But you buy this for the lens which can be used on other Pentax cameras. Excellent swirly bokeh! And funky styling. Or you get the Zenit because, well, everyone out there has a Leica M6 now, yawn...


WAS: $60 +$15.50 shipping. Now $50 + shipping. Now $45 + shipping

Interested in the P30T can you drop me a PM?
 
I thought that pun was good..

Ok, c'mon now! who wants a Pentax? I make you good deal, don't tell my boss.
 
Alright alright alright. All the Pentaxes have sold! At least in this batch.

What we have left is the mighty Zenit 212K - which is the absolutely SUPERB BEST BUILD QUALITY EVER plastic blobby thing that looks like a Leica R8 on an acid trip - Pentax K mount slr. With the Zenitar 50mm f2 lens. I actually bought this for the lens which I used on my LX. Just to annoy LX freaks.
But that's the thing, you use this Zenit to show that it's not the gear that matters man! It's all YOU! You reign supreme with your artistic vision and that frankly bugs the cr@p out others who claim that unless you use brand X it is impossible to make gorgeous, stunning art. Shame the high rollers! Of course, that would include me after I sell this chunker..

So there you have it. The lovely, weird, wonderful and crap Zenit 212K, with the matching funky style lens.
Oh yeah, the light meter works. In as much the leds light up but frankly I have no idea if it is accurate. But you Jedi the scene with this thing. Feeeeeeel the exposure Luke.

$50+$15.50 USPS flat rate shipping. And for that, you'll have people ask you "Is that a camera?"
 
Sweetening the pot.... 1 free Kodak Fling camera with every purchase. Until I run out of them...

Ok not much of an incentive but it did bumpski!
 
Interesting factoid. This camera came to market before the Leica R8.

Some say that Leica was so taken by the design of the 212, that it heavily influenced the R8.
 
With a heavy heart I have to announce that this Moscow Mollusk, this object of lust and desire, has sold.

God speed you plastic pustule. God speed.
