PERSONAL NOTES

The Zorki 4K is the ultimate Zorki evolution of Ukrainian rangefinders, better than all prior versions, with all the nice options that make a better camera. Only, this is still a Zorki, so do not expect any good quality.

The finder is better than all prior Zorkis, but it's still way bad.

The rangefinder is not really precise, the built quality is questionnable, you still have to wind before changing speed if you don't want to break anything.

On another side, as this is L39 mount, the optics available for it are limitless in quantity, some lenses havea a nice character, nothing like modern Zeiss stuff, but still pretty good.


CONCLUSION

For the price, it's ok, but you can get much better cameras with a little bit more money.
