The Zi Jin Shan ('Purple Mountain' or 'Purple-gold Mountain')[1] is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera made in about 1959 in China.[2] It is metal-bodied with chrome plating, and black leatherette on the body (and leather panels on the prism housing). It is rather similar to the original Zenit of 1952;[3] perhaps a little narrower, and the prism housing is different (more pyramidal, like that of an Kine Exakta or Miranda). Like the Zenit, it has a 39mm lens-mount, and the lens is similar in appear
