Another camera from my collection. A 1962 vintage Zorki 4 wearing a 35/2.8 Jupiter 12.
I bought it in Poznan, Poland from a street market vendor back in 1994 whilst out there chasing working steam locomotives on regular trains. Which means I’ve owned it for just under half its life.
The lens was from some Soviet collector’s camera shop in Sydenham the following year.
All fully working too. It’s had a couple of films through it this year. The lens is stellar even wide open.
The thing on the top is a modern wide angle viewfinder, the in camera viewfinder only being suitable for a standard lens.
I have an original auxiliary rotating viewfinder, but this is more practical in that it takes up less space. Is brighter and doesn’t get knocked in to displaying the wrong focal length.
