This is the first major revision of the basic Zorki body by KMZ. Produced between 1951 and 1954, it preceded the Zorki 2 and was concurrent with the Zorki 1c and 1d models. The most prominent features are:

  • a large combined viewfinder and rangefinder window
  • top speed of 1/1000s
  • slow speeds of 1s, 1/2s, 1/5s, 1/10s selected by a separate knob on the front of the camera
  • a removable back similar to the Contax/Kiev bodies
  • diopter adjustment
  • strap rings
  • vertical rangefinder adjustment not possible without at least partial dissembly of the top deck

The shutter mechanism is basically the same as the Zorki 1 shutter.
