Chronology of cameras Krasnogorsk

When released, in 1951, this camera is completely new, it is not a copy of a Leica like many previous cameras made by Krasnogorsk.
Its appearance makes it certainly the most aesthetically pleasing Zorki.
For its manufacture, it shows the use of castings, started with the Zorki 1. It includes a viewfinder with a 1/1 ratio and a dioptric correction. The film loading is no longer by the bottom, but is now very easy, entirely removing the back that is held closed by two keys. The front knob is used for the slow speeds settings.
The Zorki 3M is the evolution of the Zorki 3.
