this position, rotate the film rewind knob in the direction, shown by the indicating pointer, until you
feel by the applied force that the end of the film left the spring of the take-up spool.
3. Open the back cover of the camera.
4. Pull the film rewind knob upwards and remove the film cassette out of the camera.
Note.
For further photographing cock the shutter and, holding the sprocket, make sure that it rotates.
12. Interchangable Lenses
Various interchangeable lenses on sale for cameras of ZENIT type with rollerblind shutter can be used
with the ZENIT-E.
All these interchangeable lenses are remarkable for their high quality.
Interchangeable lenses are mounted on the camera in the same way as the main lenses by means of
M42x1 thread.
When using the interchangeable TAIR-3 lens, the left edge of the image field on the negative may
be cut off.
The ZENIT-E camera does not-allow to use the exposure meter system when photographing with
the MTO-500 and MTO-1000 interchangeable lenses, as the outer mount of these lenses shades the
photocell.
13. Close-up Shootings
With the help of a special copying stand the ZENIT-E camera allows to make reproductions of
drawings, manuscripts, photographs and others.
While copying, it is possible to use the extension rings which are mounted between the camera
body and the lens.
In this case it is possible to use one ring or a combination of some rings.
Reproduction scale depends on the length and number of used rings. This can be visually seen by
the reproductions of a postage stamp.
14. Important Tips
The camera should be handled carefully, should be kept clean and protected from mechanical
damages, moisture and sharp temperature fluctuations.
Keep the camera in a closed carrying case. In such cases the cap should be put on the lens while the
shutter and the self-timer are released.
Never remove the lens from the camera, unless you need it, to prevent dust and dirt from getting on
the surface of optical parts.
Clean the optical coated lens surfaces only from outside with a clean soft piece of fabric or cotton.
Fabric or cotton can be slightly moistened with rectified alcohol, ether (petroleum or sulfuric) or, if
these means are absent, with toilet eau-de-Cologne.
As the camera is a complex optical mechanical device, any repair of the camera and its adjustment
should be performed only by a highly qualified specialist.
