Zenit MF-1

Reading time 1 minute

Zdrastvujtie, dorogie tovarischi! Whip out this mini spy camera and grab some compromising photos of the Minister of Sport or create your own former Eastern bloc tractor porn—the Zenit MF-1 is ready for anything.

The Russians, way back when, actually purchased a number of Western items and reverse engineered them. The Zenits were based on Nikon and a few other manufacturers and some of their watches, including those using the famous Molnija movement, are based on Swiss pieces. Most of their work was actually very good in that utilitarian real-politik way of theirs. Sold by the same folks who peddle the Lomo, these mini-cams are a good way to relive the heady days of beet soup and state-run radio.
