How rare & valuable is it? Not a usual camera as it was not made for many years. There is one for sale in Finland so now I wonder how much to bid

I bought mine for around $100-$120 and that's what I see them consistently sold at. And it is quite uncommon but not very rare. They are gradually becoming rare though. If you can get one for lower price than I just listed, go for it.

Hi, Juhani.

I think Z-3M might be rarer than Z-3. Z-3 is offered on ebay quite often, but not a Z-3M. My Z-3M is one of the smoothest Soviet rangefinder camera.

Well they're both pretty uncommon, it actually took me longer to find the Zorki-3, it really all depends on the winds of eBay

OK and thanks, two days to go and it will propably stay well below 100 USD as it is local
So few here really do understand rarities, nor pay like should, and it has just been spending-xmas

Like many other cameras, Zorki-3M is getting hard to find. I used to sell them regularly (9 in 2005-2006), but only one in 2007, and I have a few backorders.
Some items were always hard to find (Russar lens, Narciss), but some used to be easy and became uncommon (Jupiter-9 in LTM).

And done, total with postage approx 100 USD and I got another camera with it. That should be worth at least 50USD also so it will be more than cheap
