1966 Zorki 4 Russian Rangefinder

Quirky. Very. Frustrating me to no end. Very.
Great shot and nice antique! I have to ask... What's wrong with it that frustrates you?

@marlboromaam apparently my manual focus skills could use a bit of work. 🤪

@Dawn thank you!

@sakkasie Ah! I probably would feel the same if I was trying to shoot with my old Minolta. My eyesight is not what it used to be. =)

I still have my Zorki 4 machine today. After seeing your photo, I took it out and would like to use it today, but it would be too expensive! The film, the photo paper, the development and the time spent on it! But lab work still seems like magic! Today's digital technology already ensures quality images. The theme is what we have to feel so that we can also bring joy to others with our photos.

I like old cameras. And don't be frustrated. Here you set the focus outside the lens and it all depends on the performance and calibration of the rangefinder.

@kork I know, it gets really expensive. I pay to have my film developed and it's about $20.00 USD to get it done. I just ordered a Jupiter 8 50mm from Poland today - what type of lens is on your Zorki?

@haskar well the guy who sold me the camera told me today that the lens he gave me for it isn't coupled to the rangefinder properly so I guess all the pictures I took yesterday will be out of focus. Live and learn.

I have a Fed 4 and lots of industar prime lenses , the lens will work on a mirrorless DSLr with an adaptor . The industar lenses are fabulous , in fact all Russian prime lenses are superb , Helios , Jupiter , Industar , I love them

@phil_howcroft I’ve heard really good things about the Jupiter so here’s hoping!

What a cool looking camera. Once you get the focus issues settled I look forward to seeing some images from it.
