Zorki 4 cameras
Zorki 4 cameras
There are loads of these cameras on ebay, and most of them are good, but it's sometimes hard to tell. It's the shipping cost from Russia that's the main problem. They are not particularly difficult to fix, in any case.
I keep buying them for parts, find them to be fixable, and then have to look for another one for parts. As a result, I have far more of these things than I will ever use. Anybody interested in a 1972 Zorki 4, appearance extremely good, which I CLA'd and covered with good quality black leather, with a modern (black) Jupiter 8 properly adjusted for the body, plus the proper black case, shipped in the US or Canada for $120?
Or maybe a very nice 1954 Zorki 3, the one with the Leica-like slow speeds, also CLA'd, with good cosmetics except for some brassing on the edge of the baseplate, and a wrinkly but light-tight shutter curtain, with a good contemporary Jupiter 8, set up but with minor cleaning marks for the ten bucks more?
Or something else. I'm starting to trip over the things.
Cheers,
Dez

Well that was easy, guy 5 miles away and thee hours later here they are, nice, you got strap lugs also.At 85.00 these looka good deal without any postage involved, hey enjoy.
I keep looking at my Zorki 3M's, and then at the Zorki 4. Leica, Nicca, Canon, Nikon, and everyone BUT ZORKI managed to keep cameras "good Looking" after adding the Flash Sync.
Besides, who needs a Flash on an RF. And the Zorki 3M looks really good with a J-3 anyway. And Zeiss. The Sonnar looks good on it to.
