Price reduced on this less-common Russian rangefinder.
Essentially a Zorki-4 without the slow speeds. If you don't require speeds below 1/30, this is a better choice because the slow-speed escapement is omitted (and therefore cannot fail). Includes leather case.
Comes with an early Jupiter-8 in near perfect condition. I haven't taken a magnifier to the glass but I cannot see any imperfections. Clean and clear, no fungus, haze or scratches.
I calibrated the rangefinder to work with this lens, and it's right on even at F2.
Camera works as it should with speeds marked to 1/500 but also has an unmarked setting for 1/1000. Rangefinder clear and contrasty.
Good, reliable rangefinder with an excellent lens. The Jup-8 is a sonnar f2 copy and this is a very good one. Very sharp stopped down with dreamy bokeh wide open.
