You will probably find cheap lenses for a Zenit on EBAY. If you want to do close-up's though you may need to get supplementary close-up lenses that fit your filter thread. Again these are on EBAY. Having an above lens rather than TTL light-meter however you may find you need to modify your exposures close up. The problem now is the range of colour film and particularly slide film is now reducing as people switch to digital cameras, however monochrome will still be freely available. A manual film camera is still one of the best ways to learn photography and how many of us started. See:-
