Posted - Oct 03 2016 : 3:32:31 PM No, in communism it was easier to do something by ourself than buy something. Let me give you an example. My old alarmclock "died" so I had to buy a new one. But shelfs in shops were almost empty. But everyday new suff was deivered to a shop. This was one of the biggest shops with clocks in Warsaw. The shop was opened from 11 o'clock. So I went there 1 hour earlier (10 o'clock) to stay in a queue. But I was 10th in a queue and this day only 3 alarm clocks were delivered to the shop from central store. They heve been sold before I came to counter so I bought nothing. Next day I went there earlier and 12 alarm clocks were deilvered. Finaly I could buy new alarm clock.

Posted - Oct 03 2016 : 10:55:32 AM Hi Alfa, it is one more lovely homemade variation of Zorki, but not more. I am not sure, that it could have any interest for collectors , so you missed really nothing.

Posted - Oct 03 2016 : 09:05:19 AM A curious Zorkiev! It's the first time I see such a camera. The conversion seems neatly done. If we refer to the lens, it should have been made in 1957 or later. The body itself could be of 1951.
, so you missed really nothing.
