The New Zorki 4 hits the streets

[flashover]

Hi all I deleted the previous thread on my Zorki. I thought I would post some photos of it taken by me. I was picked up in very nice condition from ebay, localy in Ontario. After reading up on using it as I didn't want to damage it by breaking one of the Zorki Laws. The slow shutter speeds were sticking, second curtain anyway. So with some help (thanks G'man and others) a lot of lighter fulid and a few lost hairs it's back. Seller stated it had not been used in a couple of years and I think the Yak spuu they use for lube was the problem. Now just need a meter as I am using my G-III as a meter for it. Can wait to se the test shots I am running in it now. John PS I guess you can still by a decent camera for $27.00

Update: Just got the test roll back. Cheap Dollar store 200 ASA colour (Linkon brand from China) Developed at Wally World 1 hour lab. Photos were scaned on my Canon flat bed and other then resize no editing was done.

Yup - she's a beauty. I like the 2nd shot the best (the Zorki 4's "good side"). Only difference between yours and mine is that my silver J8 is tabbed (not that you can see it in this photo http://nnphotoclub.dnsalias.com/wiki/bin/view.cgi/NPCWeb/FilmCameras#Zorki_4 )

I have the exact same body and lens, only not as good cosmetically. Works fine, though.
