Hmmm.

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am that the Zorki produced such hopeless results... Unfortunately the results were rubbish most of the time because the shutter is, quite frankly, knackered. I can only hope it got this way through some serious use from a loving, previous owner - but somehow I doubt it.
Well, that was the conclusion of a three-way test of the Zorki 4, Fed 4, and Kiev 5 back in 2000. The Kiev was the clear winner, BTW. Ah well, all of them were some 30 years or so of age, so a knackered shutter here or there doesn't seem too unreasonable to this loving Zorki 4K owner. :-)
Oh, and the reviewer in question? - a young and upwardly mobile photography journalist by the name of Damien Demolder. ;-)
