Why use it? Seems old. Can it take pics that a digital slr cannot? [nt]

Have you ever had that gut....
feeling that if you fix your camera locally it will come back in worst shape than before fixing? The film rewind release knob is stuck and as funny as it can be the only trusted shop that could do it closed it's doors a few years ago. I hope to have the o...
Looks like a fun camera...
If you don't have the user manual you can find it by searching for 'Zenit TTL manual'. Here is the section about film rewind... _______________ Releasing the film for rewinding. The Zenit TTL has a locking device which permits rewinding without constant a...
You are Genius Casey, I completely forgot.....
about pressing the release button. Seems to be working perfectly. Thank you very much, If nothing is wrong then I can take a film photography just to test it . Best Edward
When all else fails, read the manual ; )
Pressing the shutter as part of the rewind procedure is unique... I don't think I have ever seen that before...
It could probably benefit from accurate and attentive mtc.
from a vintage specialist. Once again thank you for your help . Best Regards Edward
Yes Thekonger, I take digital pictures....
but this Camera is from when I was twelve and has a great sentimental value , I would like to have this antique in working condition, if I can. Cheers Edward
Of course it can. How could it not?
In addition to being a sentimental favorite (which tends to improve photographs) that Zenit also has the valuable features of being old, inaccurate, inconvenient and slow, which can all have a positive impact on photography as well. And we haven't even di...
Maybe i should put it this way: aren't there pics you
Can take w/ digital slr that you can not with zenit?
Sure. :-)
They're just completely different tools and are bound to make different results. Not better or worse in my opinion, just different. On a giant canvas we could paint a scene with smooth oil paints and fine brushes showing tremendous detail, or perhaps we c...
What does it matter? The pics are not the only pleasure of photography....
it could be the weight of the camera , The quality of the flash, the ability to set the settings correctly, digital can do some thinking for you, manual you do the thinking. Best Regards Thekonger, Edward
Zenit are a special lot
I still use their 202 panorama camera. All plastic but just keeps working 25+ yrs already! wover
Alkiro, some Zenit 202 Panorama examples...
Note the depth of field. The 202 has a vertical slit apperture. This gives great depth of field. Starting at 1-2 meters it goes on to infinity. I used a HP Photosmart scanner, the only affordable one that can scan up to 56 mm negative width. The full neg ...
An Epson flatbed film scanner...
should take 24x58 negatives, even the low end model (used....). Very nice photos and you used the width to advantage. Is the barrel distortion is common to all photos? Do you get about 22-23 shots per roll? I really like all of the shots, but the last one...
Borubadur
Casey, when I visited Borubodur, the weather was awful. But not for photography! The very even light helped a lot. You see, the camera works as if you move your head 120 degrees. Sunshine can cause problems. Just look at the tempel photo here. And look at...
Okay !!!
The Zenit Horizon 202 has a 28 mm swing lens design... using the level and a tripod would seem to be a 'must' ; ) Even using a standard full frame 28mm that is not level creates interesting effects. That first photo with the shadows is a great optical ill...
I still have it!
The tripod also helps to keep your fingers away from the lens. For anyone interested, you'll find plenty of clips on "that" video channel... Wover
Okay, some more...

Outstanding.
These are great shots with a cool lens! I like lenses that make you think while using them, and this is certainly one. Thanks for sharing! Jeff
What a cool camera.
And I'm glad to hear it's not broken! But as Casey points out, if it ever does break it'll probably be easy to fix. Enjoy using it and do share some pictures! Cameras with sentimental value are the best. Thanks for sharing this one. Cheers, Jeff
