AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a special edition of the Zorki 4; it’s a special to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Union in 1967.... It seems the camera has been little or never used and it comes with the (to my mind) accompanying storage box, which was with the camera when I bought it. I have never used the camera myself; it seems to me that you could use the camera right away, but I cannot guarantee that because I have never used the camera myself. What I have used regularly and have always enjoyed is the lens that comes with the camera (also from 1967): a Jupiter 8, a 2/50mm lens known for its optics and gorgeous bokeh. I have always used the lens on a digital camera with an adapter and it consistently produced stunning photos. The design of this lens is based on the Zeiss Contax Sonnar 50mm f/2 formula and is truly worth it. I’m not selling the lens because I find it less interesting, but because I also have a Jupiter 3 (1.5/50mm) which is currently the one I use most. With the lens you get a Leica-like hood that fits well.
