The Russian Magazine Rns.online reports that the Russian public company Rostec wants “to make it a luxury device, analogous to the Leica.”
I am yet not sure a “historical communist camera” can get suddenly become a “luxury product”. But I am curious how they will manage to achieve such a big change!
Maybe I should buy some [shoplink 301697 ebay]Zenit stuff on eBay[/shoplink] and wait until the price rises? 🙂

Would it be a digital version?
Yet another Lunar? That’s a bad business plan!
Putin restores Soviet Union, old Soviet cameras is a part of it. 😉
That’s a good business plan, to drain the cash out of the rich hipsters. Trouble is, there dozens and dozens of million of Zenits still around. For Leica quality, we can get a Contax SLR. Next we will have a luxury edition of the Lada, made to Lexus standards, lolol!
Plan to convert Zenit to luxury camera, could be conceived only by one sect.
That is the same sect that “russian” oligarchs come from.
See me smiling while rockin’ my new Zorki.
“I am yet not sure a “historical communist camera” can get suddenly become a “luxury product”.”
The same way Leica did – by cranking up the price and talking about the pureness of dedicated shutter dials (or something in that vein).
