The XP12 is a great camera. I often use them myself. Preferably in summer because of the better light conditions. Finding only good films is difficult.

The Zenit 12xp is a beautiful camera with a heavy, upbeat shutter sound. I also like this camera. I hope you will find a good 35mm film. Good Luck^^

Camera super, made in USSR

[@lian68812]

Yeah... the power of Russia

It was practically the best camera of the late Zenith. The model with the XP index was exported. The same model with the SD index ( СД - russian letters) was usually sold only within the USSR, since the " SD " index is consonant with the abbreviation of the Nazi organization. This cell was real, made of iron. Subsequent modifications of the Zenith-models 122, 312, 412-were almost completely plastic and of very poor workmanship-broke down after six months.
