Chronology of cameras Krasnogorsk

Gift from Jean-Marc. I warmly thank him.

The Zorki 4 is a direct evolution of the Zorki 3.
It was produced over 1.7 million copies during almost 20 years and finally resulted in few technical variations.
We only distinguish two models: the 4 and the 4K, this latter offering a cocking lever instead of the traditional knob.
All other options are cosmetic or commemorative variations.
They have the effect of changing the sheathing of the body, or the style of engraving the name Zorki, or limited series celebrating the commemoration of the Party's birthday.
The camera incorporates all the functions of the 3M with a cover protecting more commands. It also has an adjustable flash sync.

The standard lens is the Jupiter 8 f: 2 / 50mm, but you may also find the Industar 50 f: 3.5 / 50mm.
Finally, the camera can receive a wide range of lenses accompanied by a suitable turret viewfinder on the accessory shoe.

One can find the wide angle Orion-15 f: 6 / 28mm lens which was produced only as few thousand copies ...
