Fabulous pentaprism reflex with interchangeable lens precision-made in Russia.
WARNING FOR ALL ZENITH CAMERAS - TIME LOCK RELEASE
When checking your camera please see that the release button in the center of the wind lever is not in the locked
down position. Failure to release this will give the impression that the wind mechanism is faulty.
Please Note
1. All modern high quality Lenses (such as that fitted to your Zenith camera) are made from special grades of
optical glass. During the manufacturing process small bubbles almost inevitably occur within the glass, but
these have no adverse effect whatsoever on the functioning of the composite photographic lens.
2. The Zenith camera will accept all types of monochrome and color films, with the exception of any Fuji
35mm cassette.
The type of cassette used by this Company will cause jamming and may cause the film to tear.
3. Zenith cameras have a built in safety margin when viewing through the Reflex Finder. This enables the whole
viewing area to be used when composing the picture without fear of losing any subject matter which may be on
the extreme edges of the finder.

ZENITH E
F2 Hellos
Specification is similar to the Zenith B f2 Hellos but, additionally, features a built-in selenium photo-electric
exposure meter. See pages 14 and 15 for instructions relating to the controls and operation of the Zenith E
exposure metering system and for unloading of camera.
ZENITH BF2
This instruction manual contains the basic characteristics and essential operating principles of the Zenith B
Camera. Read very carefully and follow the instructions in the first few days of use. Soon you will become
familiar with the camera's controls, and handling, until you do not have to think about the 'mechanism' of the
camera -- but enjoy concentrating on the more creative possibilities with this fine instrument.
6 IMPORTANT RULES TO OBSERVE
1. When removing or fitting the lens, grip it as a whole avoiding undue pressure on any one ring.
2. Do not touch the optical surfaces of lenses or the return-mirror. Fingerprints diminish optical efficiency, and
may damage coated surfaces
3. Do not rotate the shutter-release button. Apply only direct 'push-button action with your fingertip to avoid
engaging 'T' lock.
4. Do not rotate the shutter speed selector the short distance between "B" and ''500".
