Zorki 4

The Zorki-4 is a Soviet made rangefinder type camera , it's made almost completely out of metal, it's a heavy camera and like a Zenit its not ergonomic or easy to use unless your used to the handling of Soviet cameras.

I enjoy using the Zorki 4 because you can focus a bit more accurate than a conventional SLR, and because it has no reflex mirror, it can be used at slightly slower speeds than a SLR camera.

The Zorki uses a L39 mount so there's a large selection of very good lenses including those made by Leitz which are often thought of as the best lenses. However I like the Soviet lenses as they are very sharp and are very nicely made lenses as far as soviet lenses go.
