KMZ made TWO types of half-frame cameras. While they both produced 18x24mm images, one style used standard, perforated, 35mm-wide film for vertical images, while the other used unperforated, 21mm-wide film for horizontal images.
This page covers their cameras that used standard, perforated, 35mm-wide film. To see information about their cameras that used unperforated, 21mm-wide film, visit our MISCELLANEOUS FORMAT section.
See Zenit MT1
(1979) Not to be confused with the Zenit MF-1, this is a modified Zenit 19. It came with a 42mm screw mount, and was designed for endoscopic, medical photography. It had speeds of B, 1 - 1/1000, and two prime lenses of 30mm (f3.5) or 50mm (f7.0). Other lenses could be used. It is often called the "Surprise" -- I guess that tells us where the doctors inserted it!!!
