Zorki 4k Rangefinder 35mm Film Camera Beginners Guide 

I have a 1976 Zorki 4k. If you look at the serial number the first 2 numbers correspond to the year of manufacture. It's on the lens too.

The best thing about the Zorki 4k is it can be used as a deadly weapon during the apocolypse and it will still continue to work as a camera.

You hit on the reality that I live in, the more newer a product the more obsolute it is!!! I dig my mechanical Zorki 4K!!!

Thank you. Loading film at

Wow thank you. Just got my camera and had no idea how to use it but you have made everything so much clearer. Much appreciated!

Thanks for uploading all of this stuff, really professionally done, and really helpful.

Well done you have done a great job in the video. I watch reviews regularly and this review is defiantly one of the best I've ever watched.

I just bought a Zorki to apply for a film photography course and was terrified about not being able to figure it out. This was an hour very well spent! Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and delivering it in such a clear way.

Wealth of information here. It has answered so many of my questions. Thanks for all your effort!

Thanks! A really thorough and informative video. I’ve been wanting to try a rangefinder for a while and just got a Zorki 4 for my birthday. I didn’t have a clue how to use it, but I feel much more confident to put a roll of film through it and hopefully get some good results. Cheers

On the flash freezing your subjects on slow shutter speeds, I've always thought those photos from flash photographers like William Klein and Bruce Gilden were the coolest thing ever. Took me quite a while to figure out how they did it. People watching your video are very fortunate to get this technique from you right off the bat. Thanks a lot!

Nice video, I was thinking of buying a Zorki 4, now I definitely will. Thanks.

Just bought one from Ebay for $40 US. In working condition. So Im told. Thanks for this great video. I learned allot from it.

Top video! It convinced me to buy a Zorki 4k & now that it has arrived It'll be my Bible. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video.

I might get one and stick a red dot on it.

Superb in depth review - very useful!

Great video! And theres me thinking I knew what there was to know about rangefinders, boy was I wrong!! Ive just purchased my first 4K and while Im awaiting delivery, I thought Id do some homework... Didn't know about the winding/shutter sequence until now! You've probably saved me a lot of grief! Thanks again!

Hello. I'm from Romania and I have an old Zorki. Thank you for this tutorial .

Very cool. I will keep an eye open for one of those.
