Found this the same day as the Olympus OM20, so was doubly in trouble that day: 1979 Zenit EM, lovely condition, very little wear, shutter fires on all speeds and the light seals look in good condition. It came with an Optomax 38mm lens, my basket case EM has donated its Helios 44m to this body so its fairly original. I don't know much about the Optomax lens, are they any good? The only problem with this was the price, the shops pricing policy is that they look on evilbay and then charge half of what similar items were going for on there. For this they said one went for £50 and they wanted £25, which seemed a bit steep. Having no shame I proceeded to haggle and agreed on £15. Matty

Still a good price for the Zenit, the Optomax brand are pretty standard budget type lenses, the brand used various makers in Japan including Tamron and Cosina, and usually work fine for film cameras, they may not be as good if used on 4/3 digital etc. Most are a bit soft full open, but at mid aperture are sharp.
