Zenit · Russia · 1960–1962 (2 years) · 135 film

The Drug was a basic 35mm camera produced by the Soviet Zenit brand between 1960 and 1962. Designed as an affordable entry-level model for the domestic market, it featured a simple fixed-lens or triplet-lens configuration with basic manual controls typical of its era and origin. Constructed from stamped metal and bakelite, the Drug prioritized functionality and low cost over sophisticated features or premium materials, reflecting the production constraints and consumer focus of Soviet camera manufacturing during the Cold War period.
