Hi new here. I am looking for information on a camera I used briefly in the early 1970's. I think it was of Soviet construction. The only distinctive thing I remember about it was that it utilized stop down metering and you stoped the lens down by twisting a ring on the lens. This was different from the aperture control ring. As I remember, the metering process consisted of twisting the stop down ring, adjusting aperture. You would compose and focus with aperture open, but you would need to stop the lens down to take photo. If any info is appreciated. Thanks

This describes just about any Soviet or East German camera of that era. So most likely it was an early type of Zenit or paktica, pentacon, praktina... of wich some did measure through the lens using the stop down method.

If Soviet it could be a Zenit. Look out for images in the Web or in camera-wiki and let us know if you recognize yours.
