Manufacturer description
The "Зоркий-2С" camera is intended for amateur and professional photographers and is suitable for taking all kinds of photographs: portraits, group photos, landscapes, sports moments, photo reports, etc. The range of use of the device is especially expanded by interchangeable lenses, available for purchase separately.
The "Зоркий-2С" camera allows to take pictures using a flash bulb.
The "Зоркий-2С" device is available with one of five lenses:
- "Индустар-26М",
- "Юпитер-8",
- "Юпитер-17",
- "Индустар-50",
- "Индустар-22",
each of which has its own advantages: the first three have a larger (maximum) aperture, the fourth has a slightly higher resolution throughout the entire frame, and the fifth is a lens that has long proven itself among amateur photographers.
All lenses meet the high requirements of small-format photography due to the need to enlarge images, sometimes quite significantly. Lenses are universal in terms of the relationship between focal length and image format and are suitable for all kinds of shooting.

2. Camera

The cassette capacity is 1.65m of film, the number of pictures with one loading is 36.
The curtain shutter provides instant shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/250 and 1/500 sec.
In addition, there is a "B" shutter speed, obtained by hand, and the ability to set a long shutter speed.
The shutter speed can be set both when the shutter is wound and when it is not wound.
Self-timer allows you to take a picture at any of the instantaneous shutter speeds after 9-15 sec. after turning it on.
The synchronization mechanism allows shooting using flash bulbs or reusable flashes.
An optical rangefinder with a 38mm base is mechanically coupled to focusing.
The camera's optical viewfinder is only suitable for lenses with a focal length of 5cm.
The cocking of the shutter is mechanically connected with film winding to the next frame and frame counter. The possibility of double exposure is excluded.
The film rewind mechanism makes it possible to reload the device in normal, but not too bright, light.
The cassette is metal, detachable, light-proof, and automatically opens when the lid of the device is locked.
The tripod socket on the bottom plate of the camera serves to secure the camera on a tripod and in the case.
