I discovered a very simple solution to a very frustrating problem and wish to share my experience with others trying to figure out this fun yet quirky little rangefinder.

Thank you for taking the time to make that explanatory post - thought I’d broken my 4 but no! Deserves a film putting through it now 🙂

Brian, THANK YOU! You saved me. I was about to take my Zorki-4 apart. I don't know if it would have survived. It remains now in its original, beautiful, functional, condition. Mike R.

Thank You! That helped me a lot. I couldnt tense the shutter after I rewinded the film.

I have a Zorki 4k and love it. The black Jupiter 8 50mm f2 lens is a stellar performer.

Thanks you make my day - I took the first roll and after I didn't rotate the shutter speed collar as you describe - I believed was broken 😀

Can't wait for the review. I'm curious about the VF. I'm shooting a '37 Leica iii and enjoying the miniature carry-everywhere size, but a combined RF/VF is attractive. Check out the Fed 2. It has a really long RF base length for focus accuracy.

This function of the shutter button is also needed in order to roll the film into a second cassette, which was installed instead of the take-up spool. In Soviet stores, they almost did not sell film in cassettes - it was sold in rolls, and the cassettes were sold separately. I think that this is not directly related to Zorki (because there is no replaceable take-up spool), but Kiev has the same system, and there is no take-up spool in the kit.

You probably know this, but that release is threaded to accept a cable release. BTW I can smell that leather case from here! Memories...

@BriansPhotoShow 4 года назад

Yes, this Zorki 4 accepts a standard threaded cable release.

Very helpfull even if I have a 4k version. Thanks a lot

@boakium3089 3 года назад

The functionality you are demonstrating is available on some rangefinders and found on the shutter speed as "T"

@BriansPhotoShow 3 года назад

Yes, I've heard of that. I don't do much long exposure work, so I'm not really familiar with the differences in usefulness of the B and T functions. I think B requires that you keep your thumb on the shutter release cable whereas T doesn't. Or something like that.

Answering my own question some time ago to lift the speed selector lift gently with pair of open scissors (not recommended I dare say!) No complaints please but it seems to work!!!?

Video @ 4:31 "Bulb - used in conjunction with flash bulbs" - Not True. Many years ago when they had very slow film emulsions, a rubber 'bulb' that pneumatically actuated with some distance, the shutter release (via a rubber 'bulb' that the photographer held & squeezed with his hand). This was utilized so the heavy camera mounted on a tripod didn't shake/vibrate while taking the picture...
