I got the F:1.5 lens for it, I love the look of the big glass of a fast lens. (Of course a Russian 1.5 lens from the sixties is probably as sharp as a mashmallow and has no anti-reflex coating, but no matter.)

Zorki-4
Rangefinder camera, Russian Zorki-4, which I bought on eBay. I really wanted this one, I would have paid four times as much, I just think it's beautiful. The snakeskin is new, not from factory.

There must be a market for reproduction digicams. This is a beauty though.
"reproduction digicams" ?
I mean old style bodies, with contemporary electronics.
I'd love something like that.
Or at least something classic.
I have a 4K and still use it regularly. Don't be too swift to knock the lens .......... my f2 is just fine.
The thing to be careful of is the shutter speed adjuster..........make sure to read your instructions properly!
the camera is wonderful, but your lens, Jupiter 3, is superb. I have one, very sharp (but with lower contrast compared to Jupiter 8 50/2).
