Zenit 15M (Зенит 15M) is a 35mm film SLR camera made by MMZ (BelOMO) and introduced in 1989. It belongs to the long lasting Zenit series.
Early prototype version of the camera is very rare nowadays. It was the first Belorussian's attempt to issue an "Elite" type camera. It is identical to another Belorussian's prototype conceptional camera, under the name Vizit. The shutter speeds are 1-1/1000 +B and lens MC Helios-77M-4 50mm f/1.8.
The name of the late export version (1993) is in Latin letters and 15M marking is on the right hand of the camera. The lens is 42M screw mount Helios-44M-6 and shutter speed 1/30-1/500 +B. This version is quite common.
BeLomo Zenit 15M is based on Zenit 12 and totally different from KMZ's prototype Zenit-15.
