Default russian camera

I just found a Zenith 80 6x6 camera in great condition... does anyone know
anything about this?

What sort of lens connection will this take... someone suggested hasselblad
lenses, as it appears to be a russian copy of a hassy, but they didnt know
that for sure.

Ive googled for "Zenith 80" and found the manual for it online. does anyone
have any idea where I could find any more information, or where I could
possibly find extra lenses, backs, accessories? I am in the UK

many thanks

Hi !
I beleive that Zenit 80 was rebranded for UK market Salyt ( Kiev ) camera.
There is a whole bunch of CZJ and Kiev lenses. Try any Kiev dedicated site.
Best regards,

No CZJ lenses with that one. Its an early Kiev 88 and it has the 88
bayonet.

Sorry, the correct transcription must be Salyut or Salut.

You believe wrong. :-)

There is an adapter for 88 to P-6 mount but not the other way around. The
P-6 lenses have a shorter back spacing and would never focus to infinity.

Igor, my news server did not recieve your original post, but I saw the link
in the reply to araxphoto.com

I believe that the Zenith 80 is the name in the UK for Salyut cameras as
they are known in Russia, so it looks like that site has given me a lot more
options.

Many thanks
