..... when the camera with which many people started out with was a Zenith. It was crudely built and cheap to buy, but did the job. Many moved on as soon as they could afford to.
Now, the appellation has moved closer to the Russian pronunciation and become Zenit. That is not all that has changed if this report from DPReview among others is correct. The company might soon be producing cameras which will be far removed from its Soviet predecessors. To the extent of having internal components produced by Leica. That Zenith name will no longer be ironic.
