| Hi, I've been looking for a zorki 3 for some time, but I though that the zorki 3 and 3M had all the slow shutter speeds. The 3 with the separate dial on the front, and the 3M with all speedes combined on the top plate. Any help please. |

I have today recived my 3M, so here's fresh information. The 3M does indeed have all speeds 1 - 1/1000s in one top dial, when 3 has two dials which is usually a less reliable solution. And when I asked here which is more rare I did get the answer that it is 3M.

well they're both quite rare.. and yes it's the same speeds on both, just different mechanics.
Pitxu, are you looking for a camera for collection or for usage? Because if you want a Zorki for usage, you can as well go with Zorki 4, it has the same number of speeds (although they're a bit different, like 1,4,8.. instead of 1,5,10..) but it has a full range from 1 to 1/1000 and it's cost you 4 to 5 times less money.

I'm not so sure, that Zorki-3M is more rarer than Zorki-3. I agree, that both cameras are quite uncommon, but I have met dozens of Zorki-3M in my life and only few Z-3 ones. |

Thanks all for the info.
Vlad, I've already got a Zorki4 in black and it's great. I just like the look of the top plate on the 3, and even better the 3M. I think these 3's were the first Zorkis to have the RF and VF combined in one window, but still keeping the rest of the top plate very low. |
