[net.rec.photo] Screw mount?

djb (01/31/83)

Is any camera manufacturer currently producing cameras that use
the old "universal" screw mount lenses?  I know adapters are available
that let you use them on a wide variety of non-screw-mount cameras,
but was wondering if anyone, anywhere was building cameras that use
them directly.

The Russian Zenit SLRs use screw mount; I think universal (Pentax).  The
lenses (jupiters) are probably pretty good, well made, but heavy.  The
cameras are somewhat crude and lack the latest features.  Check the NY
photo stores` ads to find them, under $100.
