Brief  Description. 

 

1. Purpose 

ZORKI-4K  is  a  single-lens  rangefinder  camera  intended  for  taking  various  amateur  and  professional 
pictures  on black-and-white  film. 

The  camera  is  provided  with  a  shutter  setting  lever  and  a  self-timer  and  is  “M”  and  “X” 

synchronized. 

The  viewfinder  and  the  rangefinder  of  the  camera  have  a  common  field  of  view  and  the  camera 

eyepiece  is  provided  with  a  device  for  adjusting  it  according  to  a  particular  eyesight.  Such  a  design  of 
the  viewfinder  ensures  perfect  focusing  at the  moment  of picture  taking. 

The  lens  is  focused  by  turning  its  focusing  ring.  In  so  doing  the  rangefinder  operates  automatically 

irrespective  of the  focal  length  of an interchangeable  lens. 

The  camera  uses  a new type  of a take-up spool  to simplify  the  camera  loading. 
The  camera  accepts standard  cassettes  with  invariable  slit. 
The  camera  is  delivered  in  two variants:  with  INDUSTAR-50  or JUPITER-8  lens.
