Heads up Zorki 4 first year

[kiev4a]

There what appears to be a Zorki 4 in excellent shape about 1 hr 30 min away from ending on the bay My only connection is I bid a couple of times but already have one.

Link: Zorki 4

What makes this camera worth a little more is that 1. It's already in the U.S. (although the shipping is high) and it is a 1956 model--the first year the Z-4 was made. The early ones had vulcanite covering and everything was engraved, not painted -- really quality workmanship.

Looks like it's headed to a Japanese collection.

That's one reason I quit bidding on that one. The Japanese collectors are very disciminating about the gear they buy and are willing to pay top dollar for a piece that is fairly rare and in excellent condition. Don't hear much from them on the forums although I think a lot of them monitor the threads.
