2008 KORAX

ZORKY 4

I love this camera since it was my father's camera,
and it sure feels very sturdy and well made (after all
it is a ... Russian camera !-) The Jupiter 50mm f2.0
lens is very sharp too.

On the down side I'll put the Worst viewer
I've ever seen in my life ! ! ! It is very small and
narrow and you can't see the whole frame, you shoot
approximately and uncertainly. . . .

We can also add the shutter speed dial that will not
turn below 1/60 for nothing in the world and of course
you always blame your luck every time the film ends and
you have to suffer the Punishment of Rewind ! ! !
{your fingers will ache for a long time after...}

Not to mention the aperture ring that doesn't have
clicks at the aperture's settings,so once more,your
exposure will also be approximate and uncertain....

Still,it's a mechanical rangefinder that will never die.
It works perfectly after 40+ years :-)

I have also one of these: gave me a certain Leica-feel and after develloping the images I was totaly in love with it.

I got one of these, but w/ cyrillic writings on it. You got the international version. :) V
