Is the ZENIT 412LS SLR CAMERA a good camera?
It’s been a while since I saw that camera, it’s sort of a primitive camera, really. It’s not a bad camera but you’ll be limited with future lens purchases and the quality of glass in those lenses are somewhat questionable (you’ll find a lot of used one in not-too-good conditions). Resale value for that camera and lens are not very encouraging. Consider, instead, the Nikon N80, the best and most versatile camera (can be used totally Manual Mode, or semi-automatic in Aperture Priority Mode or, instead, in Shutter Priority Mode, or totally automatic Program Mode), has 3 light metering modes, built-in strobe, and is built ergonimically (and is considered the best camera for taking classes, too). You will want to keep this camera long afterward; it is a sturdy camera with similar features to the professional level, Nikon F100. There’s no better camera at this price range! Shutter speed: 30 seconds to 1/4000th second plus bulb. Weighs 18.2 ounces and self timer, tripod thread, standard cable
