Hello!
I have just received my Zorki Zorki # 32870. Really fine and with a Kazan lens, so all is OK.
One question though. I am surprised to see that the rangefinder sensor has the same shape of a Fed one: a "tear drop".
We know that Fed-Zorki-s and Zorki 1a-s have this same sensor. So, when was the new one put? Is it possible to have a rough idea? If you have such early Zorki 1b-s, could you have a look at their sensors and tell me what?
Thanks.
Amicalement. Jacques. |

Hello,
Nobody to ask this question? Everybody is on holiday? 
On the very interesting Jay's site, there are explanations about the different sorts of sensors, if necessary:
- first http://jay.fedka.com/index.htm
- then go to "ccomparing Fed and Zorki"
Thanks. Jacques. |

You are talking about a sensors... What means? What is a "sensor" in a rangefinder film camera? |

Hi Zoom,
The coupler or the tip of the leg of the rangefinder.
I hope it's better now...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

| This camera could be under repair. And not a native spare parts could be used. |

Hello,
One of my friends has the Zorki-Zorki # 32999 with a triangular tip of rangefinder. The same as my # 32870.
So the question is always the same. It seems that KMZ used the triangular tip long after the Fed-Zorki-s and the Zorki 1a-s. But up to which numbers? 4xxxx? 5xxxx? Do you have some Zorkis in those numbers? Could you check the shape of the tip?
Thanks. Cordialement. Jacques. |

Thanks to you, Zoom!
I think that there are many collectors who can answer that question. Unless they are on holidays!
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Sorry Jacques, for some reason I don't think a lot of people here have a lot of early Zorkis... I don't ... FEDs are predominant..

Thanks, okynek.
So it seems that early Zorki 1s had a drop like sensor at least till c. 33xxx.
I must say I am surprised: I did think that this type of sensor had ceased after the 1a...
Amitiés. Jacques.
