**Zenitar** (Russian: Зенитар) is a series of [Soviet](/source/Soviet_Union)/[Russian](/source/Russia) [prime lenses](/source/Prime_lens). They were developed and are currently produced by [JSC](/source/Joint_Stock_Company) S. A. Zverev [Krasnogorskiy Mekhanicheskiy Zavod](/source/Krasnogorskiy_Zavod) (KMZ). The series is most commonly known for the 1:2.8 16 mm [fisheye lens](/source/Fisheye_lens).

The lenses can be used with cameras using the [M42 lens mount](/source/M42_lens_mount) as well as with other mount systems using an adaptor ring. They can also be equipped with a [Pentax K mount](/source/Pentax_K_mount) since the flange-film distance is identical.
