Zorki 4 review

[royalrat]

My friend and colleague Leonid, an old-school photographer, brought from Russia a magnificent collection of cameras. One item he agreed to sell, was the Zorki4, which he had a few in his stock. Leonid told me a lot about these cameras, and how much he loved them. Totally analogic, the Zorki4 is indeed a work of art, built with precision and ingenuity – could be because it’s a replica of the Leica M2. While the Leica is very expensive, the Zorki4 is easy to find and much more affordable. As for the quality – after more then 50 years in use, I was eager to try and shoot with it.

Here are the results:

Nice work Yaniv with the Zorki. Though somewhat hard to use, the turret finder at least tends to elicit some interesting looks.
