Manufacturer description
"Зоркий-4К" is a single-lens rangefinder camera designed for various amateur and professional shooting on black-and-white and color film.
The camera has a shutter winding lever, a self-timer, and a synchronization mechanism for flashes.
The field of view of the viewfinder is combined with the field of view of the rangefinder. The viewfinder is equipped with diopter adjustment to the photographer's eye. This viewfinder design ensures accurate focusing.
Focusing the lens is achieved directly by rotating its focusing ring, while the rangefinder device works automatically regardless of the focal length of the lens.
A new type of take-up spool greatly simplifies loading the device with film.
The camera is designed to use standard cassettes with a constant slit.
The camera is available in two versions: with "Индустар-50" or "Юпитер-8" lens.
