Zorki 3
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.
