~ Zenit EM Moskva 80 Olympic Edition Photo Camera 35mm ~
The Zenit EM Moskva 80 Olympic Edition is a special version of the Zenit EM 35mm film camera that was produced in limited quantities to commemorate the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow, Soviet Union (now Russia), officially known as the Games of the XXII Olympiad.
The Zenit EM is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera produced by the Soviet company KMZ (Krasnogorsk Mechanical Works) from the early 1970s to the early 1990s. It was a popular and widely used camera in the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries. It was a basic and rugged camera with manual exposure control. It featured a pentaprism viewfinder, a removable lens, and a focal plane shutter. The camera’s simplicity and reliability made it suitable for amateur and student photographers.
The camera featured a unique design to mark the occasion. It often had the Olympic rings and “Moskva 80” logo on its body, typically in a red, white, and blue color scheme. The camera was intended to be a collector’s item and a souvenir of the event. The exact number of Moskva 80 Olympic Edition cameras produced is not widely documented, but they were produced in limited quantities to coincide with the Olympic Games.
Due to its limited production and commemorative nature, the Moskva 80 Olympic Edition has become a sought-after collector’s item among camera enthusiasts and collectors of Olympic memorabilia.
In terms of functionality, the Moskva 80 Olympic Edition operated like a standard Zenit EM, offering manual control over focus, aperture, and shutter speed, making it a usable camera for photography.
