- Hello guys! Welcome to the review of the Zenit EM camera. I will talk about the history, the differences between the E and the EM, the instructions and chacking tutorial. I hope you like the video. Any comments and doubts, leave them below! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for stressing the fact that it's needed to first load and then change the speed, bc not all the operation manuals say that, or it's unnoticeable for beginners. I've shot with Zenit E and Zenit EM before and gotten quite good photos, but I've forgotten many things now after quite a few years, so I really appreciate this video, thanks!
Thanks for the comments! Indeed, it is a simple camera, but it delivers great results.
Also there is one nice feature. When you set your speed button to “b” position, you can push and rotate the shutter release button anti clockwise and it will be blocked for the desired time. To stop the exposure you should push the button and rotate it clockwise
This instruction video was extremely helpful.
I've just bought this baby for myself and I needed this tutorial. Great help. Thanks!
Установку выдержки можно производить как при взведенном, так и при спущенном затворе.
Wow this is a really useful video, I'm about to purchase an old model. Probably doesn't work just wanna have it as my first antique camera collection. But to see the actual camera working and the way you're explaining it step by step it's just very informative and makes me wonder how great the designers/engineer's have came up with the mechanism♥️... You deserve a ton of views by the way sir. Very informative video... Also thanks for warning about the speed dial...
Thanks a lot for your comments! That is the idea of tje videos
Keep up the good work sir.
Thanks a lot! That’s a great review!! You explained everything so much better then those Russian guys whom I usually watch, even thought now lots of people in our country are trying to find such cameras in the granny’s houses :)
It is cool to know that my videso help. I thought this cameras were very common in Russian Federation and ex USSR countries.
Thank you very much! You helped a lot ❤️
Wish you luck!
This was a great video and perfectly in depth. thank you!
really clear image, instructions, and review thankyou!
Thank you
Excellent review.
Vey, very helpful. Thank you.
Hello , please tell more specifically about what will happen to the camera if you change the speed of the film before you cocked the trigger and where did you find this information , btw great review
Hello. Due to the particular design and construction of the Zenit E and Zenit EM curtain mechanism, the speed selector knob is directly connected to one of the springs that operate the correct tension and return of the two cloth curtains of the shooting mechanism. When you do not cock the camera and change the speed, you are twisting that spring and that alters the tension of it. Such action in the long term will result in the loss of tension of the whole curtain mechanism, resulting in an incorrect operation and return of the curtains. So, basically by changing the speed without cocking the mechanism damages the correct tension of the springs inside it. I hope it is clear. If you hacve oine of this cameras, you now can operate it the correct way, and it may be no harm to the camera, because the way to cause damage is by repeating the incorrect operation in the long term. This was told to me by two of the camera mechanics that fixed two Zenit E for me, as well as other Zenit models. I hope this is clear and helps you. Any other doubt, leave it here and i will try to solve it. Thanks for your positive comments.
@@pedrogabrielmejia6093 Thanks for such a detailed answer , I read the instructions in russian and did not notice any warnings about this issue there
@@MrsPopcore Hmmm, very curious tho hear that. Maybe it is a myth or a misunderstanding here in my country. I am not really sure hahaha.
Hello! I am about to buy one of these Zenit E and I just found out from you that speed rotation only after cocking thr mechanism. Is there any way to check if it was not operated correctly before buying? Without inserting a film and taking pictures... Thank you :)
Excellent review. Thank you. Super helpful 🧡
Great Review!
Thanks a lot!
one question, is it possible to change the selenium?
I am totally a newbie with film cameras and i had this model from parents. The review was extremely helpful but i have one question: the difram is not always 2.8 right? How do we choose correctly which one to use with the proper speed of course
Hello Xenia. The diafragm control is in the lens, so you select that aperture in the lens. I hope it is clear.
@@pedrogabrielmejia6093 thank you for replying! My question is more about how to know which is the right combination to choose after adjusting the circle.to the line.

@@xeniasimeonidou7746 Hello Xenia. I hope it is not too late. I have made a new video in the chanel explaining how to do that operation with the light meter. I hope it makes it clear.
@@madepro7789 Hello, I have made a new video in the chanel explaining how to do that operation with the light meter. I hope it makes it clear.
Hola Pedro, quieren venderme esa zenit versión olimpiadas en 45 dólares, sientes que es un precio razonable?
Hola Andrés. Para ser honesto, por estos días el mercado de las cámara anda bastante loco. Creo que se puede conseguir un poco más barata. Sin embargo, si este es el modelo específico que quieres y si tiene su lente, estuche y está funcionando perfectamente, yo la compraría sin dudar. Haciendo la conversión del precio a mi moneda local, puedo ver que ese precio en comparación a como las venden aquí no está muy lejos, de hecho esta por debajo. Entonces si quieres una EM olímpica específicamente, yo la compraría a ese precio sí y sólo sí tiene su lente funcionando sin problema, el cuerpo está en buen estado y funcionando sin inconvenientes, así sería una muy buena compra en mi opinión.
@@pedrogabrielmejia6093 muchas Gracias!
Buen video! Como le sacaste la zapata del flash, la mía vino rota y quiero sacarla
Saludos Elías. Para poder hacer eso, necesitas tener una de repuesto, la de una Zenit B en adelante te sirve. Después, hay que desarmar la parte superior de la cámara, es decir ha que sacar la cubierta metálica superior. Una vez removida, simplemente toca desenroscar una la tuerca circular que tiene como 2 orificios que es la que asegura el visor, que tiene incluída la Zapata de flash. Puede estar duro el aro, pero en esos agujeros chiquitos con un destornillador salen. En resumen, desarmar la parte superior de la cámara y desenroscar un aro que está sosteniendo el visor por dentro de la cámara y se reemplaza por el nuevo. Espero sea claro.
@@pedrogabrielmejia6093 más claro que el agua, gracias!!! Cuando hago el cambio te comento como quedo
Pedro could I ask you a question please. How do i set the camera to work with my flash gun? It has the appropriate cable but is there a setting to trigger the flash or should it work when the cable is plugged in? I cant find the answer to this online and have tried with no success.
Again, excellent review! ❤
Hello again deena. I Believe the only speed that triggers the flash is 30x, so set the camera in 3px and see if it works. Also remember to set the flash selector to the X position.
@@pedrogabrielmejia6093 Thank you! 🧡
@@-Deena. i hope this works
@@pedrogabrielmejia6093 Hi Pedro. Thank you. It works 🧡
Hi Pedro! the shutter disengaging bush (button to take the photo) is pushed down on my EM and It won't take a photo. How do I fix it?
maybe someone can tell me how to check if its working.
podrias poner subtítulos en españo por favor, me ayudaria bastante!
Saludos Catalina, creo que un vídeo en castellano sería mejor jajaja.
Pedro Gabriel Mejia siiiiii! muchas gracias 😊
@@lumit0s Vale, trataré de hacerlo este fin de semana. ¿De esta cámara en particular?
Pedro Gabriel Mejia siii! de esta camara ya que la tengo y aun no se utilizarla muy bien, muchas gracias 😊
