Just received a Zorki 4 with smart '' brown snake '' covering , and an Industar 50 polished to a very non USSR shine !
But it's stiff to wind , and does not seem to have been cla'd .
... and the winding is awkward 'cos of the knob being set against the raised top plate - and they call that progress ?
I don't know why dealers go to all that trouble and don't service the d......d things !
... and I forgot what a brick it is ! - and that it won't stand on it's base ...
Looks like a candidate for my friendly Leica dealer to sell on !!!
... but I appreciate my Zorki 6 a lot more , let alone my Oleg Fed 2 !!

Hence the lever-wind 4K

Because it's quick, easy, cheap and requires no great skill to tart up the outside?
