Hi all,
I am interested in rangefinders for some time. But being one of those who haven't touched film cameras I was not sure which one to buy. After finding this forum I read the Beginner's guide for FSU cameras and decided to buy Zorki 4 with 50/2 Jupiter 8. I went to a shop full with second hand film cameras, but they had sold the last Zorki 4 not long before I got there. I came back home and to my surprise my father gave me an old leather camera bag with the same camera and lens I wanted. The odd thing was that my father did not know that I am searching to buy a film camera at all so I asked him what is going on! He said that he found my grandfather's camera the day before and decided to give it to me...I was stunned!!

Hi intense - welcome to this nice and friendly forum!
Amazing story - Zorki 4 is a very good camera, please post some pics. And remember never to change shutter speeds unless you have wound the shutter...
