Zorki 3M
Soviet Leica
1954-1956
focal-plane shutter - 1"- 1/1000 and B
coupled rangefinder, dioptric adjustment, hot shoe, removable back cover
M39 Leica thread mount (LTM)
standard lens: Jupiter-8 50mm f/2.0
The Zorki 3M is the follower of the Zorki 3. The 3 had two wheels for slow and fast shutter speeds that caused liability to defects. The 3M has all speeds in one wheel on the top. There were around 85000-90000 Zorki 3 models produced, it's not sure how many 3's and 3M's. Most sources speak about 40000 produced Zorki 3M. The removable back cover allows comfortable film loading and the bright and big view finder includes the rangefinder. A real progress to the Zorki 1 models. The Zorki 3 is the last series with the nice old styled design of the top cover.
