I traded my Fed 2 to get this one:
The Zorki 6 is the only attainable FSU rangefinder that has hinged back, non-removable spool, and film advance lever. You may call these not in keeping with the retro-spirit, I call them amenities

Very nice! The lens is very good Industar-50/3.5.
I recently bought a Zorki-1d from Ukraine which to my amazement works quite well. No amenities there though

I like FSU cameras without amenities also, I have a Zorki 1 (the 'f' model, I think). But knowing that the Zorki 6 has all the stuff that a modern rangefinder has, I just have to give it a spin
Put a roll in and ready to shoot. I'm pleasantly surprise to see that the film advance lever is operating confidently, the sprockets are catching the film precisely, so we'll see if this camera work as well as it looks good.

Zorki 5 and 6 have probably the best RF/VF of any of the FSUs so enjoy! They're a lot like the FED 2 with the "amenities" but a brighter finder.

Wolves, you're right, the more I use this, the more I like it.
I think the RF patch is the brightest that I've seen on an FSU.
