 Medium format SLR Zenith-80 export version of Salut camera.

Fully working condition. CLA'd (cleaned, lubricated, adjusted).

Very rare version of the Russian copy of the famous Hasselblad medium format camera. Collector's item, rarity R4.

Very few such cameras have been made. Real collector's item.
Less common export version of Salyut camera, under name "Zenith-80". Fitted with Industar-29 2.8/80mm lens. "Made in USSR" markings on the side-plate.
Then came the Salyut-S which was exported under the name of the Zenith 80. It’s a copy of the Hasselblad 1000F.

These cameras were very expensive at 400 Rubles, which represented 6 months salary to the average Soviet citizen. This means that production was very limited and these cameras and lenses are rare. Variation three can also be found marked Zenit 80 and were produced for TO&E in England

The Salyut (later Kiev-88) was very expensive when it was built, about half a year’s salary for an average Soviet worker,
and was therefore sold and produced in very small numbers. This means that production has been very limited and these cameras and lenses are rare.

The camera is very robust and does what it should do:
a lot of fun and, above all, VERY good photos that are in no way inferior to those of an expensive ROLLEI or HASSELBLAD.
