  The Zenit-M is basically an M240
<https://leicarumors.com/2018/09/26/zenit-and-leica-present-joint-production-camera-zenit-m-with-zenitar-35-mm-f-1-0-lens.aspx/>
without the 6bit code reader with small design cues from Zenit's design
firm. It's completely made by Leica and calibrated by Leica. The Zenitar
35mm f/1 lens
<https://leicarumors.com/tag/zenitar-35mm-f-1-lens-for-leica-m-mount/> is
100% designed by Zenit with feedback from Leica. The camera software also
was influenced by Zenit. For the camera kits, the lenses are sent to
Germany and the camera is calibrated a 2nd time with the lens fitted and
then packaged in Germany and sealed with their own Sicherband tape. Any
warranty work on the camera will be handled by Leica - and the camera will
be sent to Zenit who will send it to Leica and returned from Leica direct
to the customer. Shipping costs on any valid warranty issue will be covered
completely. In the US, the Zenit M camera and Zenitar 35mm f/1 lens can be
purchased only at the Zenit.store <https://zenit.store>.

No, I do not own one, want one, nor otherwise collect even a single penny (
pfenning?) from the sale of of even one.....
