After a looooong overcast winter ,that kept me outside my photo hobby (along with dayly job and other hobbies) I took out on a dull overcast spring day Smile
My wife managed to take a portrait of my Zorky 4 that I received some three years ago ,but was kept aside because of some problems with the shutter speeds (too fast) -by the way ,is this a problem that can be solved?
All in all, it is a beautiful camera to shoot with , it gives a great tactile and olfactive feeling to keep in hand .Maybe I have a problem ,because of my memories in childhood ?
I didn't finished the test film yet but I should . This pic was taken with the Hexanon 40/1,8 on nex3




What is your oppinion about the Z4 as a shooter ?
I like the viewfinder .

Nice camera, indeed. And the viewfinder looks big enough for a comfortable framing.

What it smells like? Smile
Yes, for me the olfactive feeling is important, too.
The smell of the gear, especially older gear, is often a problem and can substantially add to or ruin the fun.
With folder cameras I used to sprinkle the bellows and the camera bag with fine perfume. It resists, in a subdued way, for years and makes the experience of using the camera much more pleasant.

Smells like a real camera not like a digital one😁 And especially feels like one .Sturdy.
The viewfinder has dioptrii adjustment wich is great. Bigger than the fed3 one or the 2C one. I like also the fact that it openes the back to load/unload and not the bottom. Very confy.
