Zorki 4 K (Зоркий-4K)

Zorki 4 K (Зоркий-4K)

 

This is my most favorite camera, I love the look of this Leica copy, I have two Zorki at the moment, the other one is Zorki 4 (without K) and I post it for sale. But this Zorki I will keep it for good.

I have several lens fit to this Zorki with M39 screw, like Industar, Helios and Jupiter lens which also the same lens use for Leica.

This Zorki 4K produced in the 70's and basically Zorki 4k is Zorki 4 with the addition of a fixed take-up spool and a film advanced lever instead of the knurled knob. The KMZ logo was moved to the left so it would not be covered by the advance lever and leave room for a rubber lever stop. Its standard lenses are M39 screw mount Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 or Industar-50 50mm f/3.5. Shutter is cloth horizontal focal plane with speed 1-1/1000 +B.

 

Some of my works with Zorki 4K

Technical Specs:

Lens: Zorki-4 was supplied with either a Jupiter-8 (ЮПИТЕР) 50mm f/2, or Industar-50 (ИНДУСТАР) 50mm f/3.5 lens; several other lenses were available. The lens is interchangeable, M39 screw mount
Focusing: Matching yellow rangefinder images in the finder, ring and scale on the lens, w/DOF scale
Shutter: Horizontal travelling focal plane, rubberized silk double cloth curtain, speeds: 1-1/1000 +B, setting dial on the top plate, lift and turn
Viewfinder: Coupled viewfinder/rangefinder, large and bright; Diopter adjustment lever: beneath the re-wind knob
Take-up spool: special, not captive, there is a small pin for attaching the film perforates on it
Engravings on the back of the top plate: KMZ logo and the serial number
Body: Metallic, cast aluminum; Weight: 687g
Serial no. first two digits correspond to the production year
As with other Soviet-era rangefinders, the shutter speed selector rotates when the shutter is released, and should not be changed until after the shutter has been cocked. If you change the shutter speed without cocking the shutter first, the setting pin can be broken when you advance the film and cock the shutter.
