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:

A nice review and *thumbs up* good work on the photos. Look forward to seeing more. Enjoy the Zorki ... and welcome to RFF!
 
Nice work Yaniv with the Zorki. Though somewhat hard to use, the turret finder at least tends to elicit some interesting looks.
