Flea Market Find–Zorki-3 with Prominar 35 2.8

[pworden]

Hello! I shoot Sony mirrorless and enjoy adapting lenses once and awhile. I found this at a flea market and am curious about the lens, specifically. It appears to be rare – not stellar, just rare. Low serial number, zebra stripes on the side. Also a bit odd that it's on this Zorki, with an unusual tripod foot. The camera is in pretty rough shape, but the lens looks pretty good. I don't expect it to work real well on my Sonys, but will try. A link to a group of pictures about this combo below.

Thanks for any info.

Left you some info on your Flickr page. That may be a conversion from the European tripod bushing, to the North American size. See if it is 1/4in x 20.

Could be a valuable lens.

The lens is a rare bird. I used it in Kowa Kallo W and is a good performer.
