Zorki 4k

Another product from behind the iron curtain, the Zorki 4k was produced from 1972-1978. It is a great, fairly modern design with a very large and bright viewfinder. Originally this camera was sold with an Industar-50 or Jupiter-8 lens, but here it is pictured with an Industar-61 L/D lens. While the I-61 was not originally sold with this camera, it has a reputation as being one of the best lenses to come out of soviet factories so I wanted to give it a try.
The Zorki 4k was produced primary for export, as all the writing on this version is in English. One little nice thing about Russian cameras is that on most of them the first two numbers of the serial number indicate the year it was made, this one was made in 1977. I really wish more camera companies around the world followed this model, it would make determining the date of manufacture much easier.

The Industar-61 produces very contrasty images even without a filter, which makes it great for black and white film

The nice thing about the Zorki 4k is that it has a bright and large viewfinder compared to some earlier cameras. However the rangefinder patch isn't all that contrasty on my example, which makes focusing somewhat difficult. However this may vary from camera to camera, as another Zorki 4k that I handled had a much better rangefinder patch.
