Zorki

|
Zorkis are inexpensive rangefinder cameras that were manufactured in the Soviet Union from 1949 until 1978.
The Zorki came from the Krasnogorsk Mekanicheski Zavod or KMZ, which translates as Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory. This same factory also brought us the Zenit Single Lens Reflex or SLR. These cameras are one of the cheaper Leica copies.
When using a Zorki, do not set the shutter speed until you have cocked the shutter. If you do it is possible to do permanent damage to your camera.
