The condition was not very good. Shutter curtains to be replaced. Frame counter mechanism too. Otherwise, everything is working.

The rangefinders are almost entirely the same. Except for the front glass. In the Zorky 5 version with a square window, the glass is glued into the frame, which has no threads and has a larger diameter than in the version with a round window.
The Zorky 5 rangefinder with round window is completely identical to the later versions of Zorky 5 and Zorky 6.

Denn,
very nice find, congratulations! Could it be a transitional model from the Zorki 5 to the Zorki 6?

Good question. The Zorky 6 has a completely different shutter frame. Slightly different cocking mechanism. Only the rangefinders are the same. Maybe they were experimental releases. |

Absolutely beautiful. And precious concerning the evolution of the Zorki 5.
When reading your thread, I had immediately thought of Ulrich's transitional Zorki 4 too. Thrilling!
Amitiés. Jacques.
PS: if we know the numbering range of the Zorki 5, it would be interesting to locate that one. |

Thanks, Denn.
By its serial number, the Z5 with timer is older. I thought just the contrary...
Would it be possible that your Zorki 5 with timer is in fact a transitional model between Zorki 4 / Zorki 5?
Probably it would be necessary to know more about the numbering ranges of Zorki 4 and 5. But perhaps you can know, after the restoration, if there are parts rather on the Zorki 4 side?

Jacques.
The Zorky 4 has a completely different frame, a different cocking mechanism, a different rangefinder. The only thing they have in common is the self-timer mechanism. I think it is more similar to the Rubin with self-timer from the recent thread. And the early number is probably indicative of that.
Or maybe it was a one-off attempt to produce self-timer cameras for market research. Note, later releases of the Zorky 5 are not known to have a self-timer.
Maybe it was an attempt to create the zork 6. It seems to me that the Zorky 5 was a transitional and experimental model, as it was produced for only 2 years. I think that the Zorky 6 was created in parallel. As a result, they left the case with inconvenient loading of film from the bottom, and finally switched to a hinged back cover.
Either way it's a mystery from KMZ.....

Yes, of course, you are right.
Thanks for your detailed answer.
And congrats for the Rubin and this Zorki 5!
