  ZORKI 4 OWNERS MANUAL
The Zorki 4 is a development of the earlier Zorki cameras, derived from the Fed and Fed 2 cameras, being themselves copies of the Leica II and III 35mm cameras.
The Zorki synchronization is designed for use with the flash at a shutter speed of 1/30 second.
As the shape of the cam itself is slightly different on the Zorki from that of a Leica screwmount, it may not push pass the cam to completely seat the lens.

The Zorki 3C was developed from the 3M the difference is the new topplate which now houses a flash synchronisation mechanism.

 ACP - Zorki-10
The Ricohs are pale grey where the Zorkis are fl, and there are a number of small changes, but when placed aside there is no doubt who should get all the credit for the unconformity and the daringness.
Russian cameras continue to evolve and the latest introduction from the Zorki factory is the model 10, which was awarded the gold medal at the Leipzig World Fair.
In general the Zorki camera shows more sophisticated styling than previous Russian cameras and the whole approach is oriented towards the production of an article to please the customer.

 Zorki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This mechanism was unreliable, so the improved Zorki 3M of 1954 combined all of the shutter speeds on a single dial.
The Zorki 4, 1956, was a Zorki 3S with self timer added.
The Zorki 6 was identical to the second version Zorki 5 but with a removable back for easier loading.

 Zorki 4K
The Zorki 4K is a Soviet-era Leica copy made by the KMZ factory near Krasnogorsk, which is a suburb of Moscow.
The Zorki was largely an export model while the FEDs were largely designated as for internal consumption, although this is a generalization as both were made in both export/import variations.
Oddly although they were produced in roughly the same time period, the domestic version has the fold-out foot that allows the camera to display properly even with the 85mm f/2 lens, the export version lacks this fold-out foot.

 The Zorki 4 Camera - Several Years Later
A Zorki is not a Leica; while they're built really, really well, they're not made to the same standards of finish as their German cousins, though you might well be surprised just how good they can be.
A Zorki isn't indestructible, (though it's close) but neither is it a delicate flower that must only be handled with kid gloves.
Then again, the Zorki's viewfinder and rangefinder are larger and brighter than those on the Fed-2, and I don't believe you ever find a Fed-2 with the painted markings and nylon covering of late Zorki-4s, just engraved markings and vulcanite.

 ZORKI 6 OWNERS MANUAL
The Zorki 5 and 6 are a development of the earlier Zorki cameras, derived from the Fed and Fed 2 cameras, being themselves copies of the Leica II and III 35mm cameras.
Although the Zorki 5 is a bottom loading camera and the 6 has a hinged back, the controls on both are identical.
Some Zorki 5 cameras are said to have a flash "synchroregulator" that can adjust the flash firing delay from 0 to 25 milliseconds.

 My Russian 35mm Cameras
The similar Zorki rangefinders were first produced in Krasnogorsk, a suburb of Moscow, at a factory named for the location, beginning in 1948.
Variants could be found with Roman lettering, as well as Cyrillic, and it could also be with or without a viewfinder bezel (as this one is).
Produced (if my references are correct, for only two years) by the Krasnogorsk factory, at the same time as the Zenit-3, the Kristal introduced several features borrowed from the Zorki 5 and Zorki 6, all in a body heavily influenced by 1940s art deco.

 Zorki Cameras - one view, one review
The Zorki family of rangefinders, produced in the Soviet Union from the 1950's to the 1970's, are often thought of as the archtypical russian camera.
Instead, this is intended more as a practical review to owning and using a Zorki camera.

 ACP - Zorki-4
The Zorki family started off as copies of the Leica Screw series, like a lot of Russian cameras did.
The basic pre-war Leica design was copied since the thirties (by FED) and after the war continued by KMZ in their Zorki series.
After a range of Zorki cameras during the forties and early fifties, KMZ finally cooked the Zorki range down to the one Zorki-4, which contained all the advantages of its predecessors, such as all the shutter speeds combined in one dial, a variable flash sync delay, and (for those days) a reasonable finish.

 Zorki 5 &
This is a Zorki 5b with vulcanite cover instead of the more common nylon.
Mechanically it is very similar to the 5a but unlike its predecessor the RF window is round and the top plate does not need to come off for vertical adjustment.
The addition of a self-timer almost completed the lei ca Leica M3 look but the aesthetics of the Zorki 6 was compromised by the latch design in exchange for the convenience of a swinging hinged back.

The Zorki C (Cyrllic for "S" for synchronized) included a built in connector for both bulb and electronic flash.
Apparently, the designers thought it was easier to enlarge the top rather than incorporating the feature into the existing Zorki 1 design.
One camera collector quipped that a Zorki C looks like a Zorki 1 that was "beaten with an ugly stick." The "C" has a taller finder to accomodate the flash sychronizer.

 User Manuals -- Zorki-6
The lever-type shutter setting mechanism is coupled with both the film transport mechanism and the picture counting mechanism, so that setting of the shutter automatically advances the film after each exposure, the picture counter indicating the number of exposures made.
This feature of design gives the "Zorki-6" advantages as compared to earlier models of the "Zorki" family, allowing the operator to quickly prepare the camera for taking the picture and to make several shots without removing the camera from the eye.
The mounting thread of the camera lens seat is standard for different camera makes and suits all main and interchangeable lenses used with photographic cameras of the "Zorki" family.

 Zorki 10
The Zorki 10 is a Soviet-era fixed-lens rangefinder made by the KMZ factory near Krasnogorsk, which is a suburb of Moscow.

There was a Zorki 12 that was apparently a half-frame camera.

Cameras are engraved with both the FED and Zorki name, which suggests that the assistance of the FED company, which had begun around 1943, continued to at least 1949.
The top plate also bears the year of manufacture and the KMZ trapezoid (without the arrow which appears on later Zorki cameras).
The camera base plate is without the stiffening lath (fixed by two screws to the rear of the base plate) found on most later Zorki's of this design.

 Jos' Place: Zorki 3M   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The second one was that in fact it reminded me of a Zorki 1 that had spent some months in a gym.
The Zorki 3M was the fruit of some design improvements applied over the previous model Zorki 3, which in fact was the successor of the rare Zorki 2, being this one again the normal descendant of the original Zorki or Zorki 1, phew !
On each single Zorki 3M outfit I've seen for sale, both camera and lens were from same year production (you can know that by looking at the first two numbers on the serial), so some years of difference may mean that's not the original lens for the camera.

 Zorki-4
I found a nice 1956 vintage one with the etched Zorki logo and shutter speeds, instead of the later painted ones that tend to wear off.
Another lure to getting the Zorki was for the beautiful f2.0 Jupiter-8 lense that's standard on a -4.
I'd heard of its qualities already and this one had the older design with the ear on the focusing ring.

At the time of writing, I have  more than 50 FED and Zorki.  Of these, half are FED and the rest is Zorki.
Lacking lugs for straps, a screw-on wrist strap makes the camera even more portable.  Later FED or Zorki models don’t do or look as well in straps– as with anything else, svelte bodies are the only ones with the right to wear straps!

Unfortunatley the compact advantage of the Zorki is lost when one mounts the Jupiter-8 f2.0 50mm lens.
Problem is that the slowest shutter speed on the Zorki is 1/25 sec.
It of course fits the Jupiter-8 since that was a derivative of the Zeiss Sonnar originally put on the Contax II/III, which the Soviets copied for the Kievs.

The built-in selenium meter around the lens set the aperture after the shutter speed is selected.
Only about 7,000 cameras were produced, so the Zorki 12 is difficult to find.

They started in 1946 with the Moskva line, but in 1948 - with the FED factory in Ukraine still not full production - they started producing FED cameras.
At first they were marked "FED" with a KMZ logo, and then later they were known marked "FED-Zorki", but by 1949 they had made some design changes and thus began the Zorki line of rangefinder cameras.
