Zorki-4 Soviet Rangefinder Kit with Three Lenses and Universal Finder

The Zorki-4 is one of the best-known Soviet Leica-inspired rangefinder cameras, built by KMZ (Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory) near Moscow. Using the Leica M39 screw mount, the Zorki-4 offers fully mechanical operation, cloth focal-plane shutter construction, and compatibility with a wide range of classic Soviet and Leica-thread lenses.

This 1966 example features the later and more desirable single-dial shutter speed layout with speeds from 1 second to 1/1000 second, along with a combined rangefinder/viewfinder window, removable back for easier film loading, flash synchronization, self-timer, and accessory shoe.

What makes this outfit particularly special is the inclusion of three highly regarded Soviet lenses and the matching KMZ turret finder, creating a complete and versatile classic rangefinder system ready for both collection and practical use.

Lens Details

Industar-61 53mm f/2.8
A coated Tessar-type lens highly regarded for sharpness and classic rendering. Compact, lightweight, and an excellent everyday standard lens for Leica-thread systems.

Jupiter-12 35mm f/2.8
A Soviet copy of the legendary Zeiss Biogon design, known for excellent optical performance and distinctive vintage character. Export version marked “Made in USSR.” Due to the protruding rear element, care must be taken when mounting on certain cameras.

Jupiter-11 135mm f/4
Classic Soviet telephoto lens produced by KMZ. Smooth rendering with vintage character and compact size for a 135mm lens.

KMZ Universal Turret Finder
Multi-focal-length accessory finder with settings for 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 135mm lenses, plus dedicated close-up settings.

Condition

Operating Condition
Tested and fully functional. Camera, lenses, and finder operate properly. Rangefinder is functional and shutter operates correctly at all speeds. Focus on the Jupiter-11 lens is somewhat stiff but usable.

Cosmetic Condition
Camera body shows only minor paint wear on edges of the black frame. Chrome surfaces and body covering remain exceptionally clean overall — Excellent Plus condition.

Industar-61 and Jupiter-12 lenses show very little sign of use with bright, clean aluminum finishes — Mint condition.

Jupiter-11 lens shows some cosmetic discoloration around the aperture ring and knurled surfaces — Excellent Plus condition.

Turret finder shows moderate cosmetic wear and some paint loss/discoloration — Very Good condition.

Shop Notes

This is an unusually complete Soviet rangefinder outfit with three desirable lenses, matching KMZ accessories, and the often-missing original take-up spool. Sets like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Canada, especially in this overall condition.

As with all Zorki cameras, always advance and cock the shutter before changing shutter speeds to avoid damaging the mechanism.
