Camera Zenit 122

Professional photographers: is this a good camera?
I found a Zenit-122 in my parents’ basement and as I was thinking of taking up photography, I was wondering if it’s a good camera to begin with?
It’s a great camera.
Reliability is suspect and shutter speeds may be off until it loosens up. With a camera like that I typically use Ilford XP2…I would not risk any film with less latitude than that in your Zenit until you are comfortable with it.
