KMZ Zenit 3M
KMZ Zenit 3M
After the two less successful models, the Zenit 3 and the Kristall, came the Zenit 3M. The only (?) difference between the two models is the top fascia style. See the images below. While the Kristal was a kind of Soviet art deco, the fancy style there gave way to a more traditional, classic SLR here. The Zenit 3M sold over 782,000 units in its eight years lifespan and was rebranded for sale in the UK and West Germany. Not to be confused with the early Zenit, the 3M was sold in the UK under Zenit.
