Greetings forum members. What anyone knows about this model. I saw for the first time and almost bought this model, but at the last moment the seller refused. This is the only photo that I managed to save. It is known that this model is an experimental line of KMZ, about which there is a modest record on the official website. Share the information if anyone knows anything.

Hi Denn,

yeah KMZ archive site has it on their site, it's a Zorki 5 prototype. Here's the photo from zenitcamera.com:


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent2/842024_photo_2024-04-04_08-10-03.jpg

The logo differs just a little bit but that's not uncommon at all among a trial batch of cameras.
Also this camera is #8.

Someone sent me seller's photo.

and the lens is wrong on this one obviously. here's one without the case:

Notice the different rounded windows vs a Zorki-5.

Best regards,
Vlad

From OLD CAMERAS (Starie Fotoapparaty) two more photos
4 Apr at 10:00 pm•from Alexander Tkachenko
I came across such a device. This is clearly Zorki-5 of the first issue, but the inscription is a little confusing. What is this, homemade or were there some limited editions with that name? No information could be found; with the name Rubin there was only some kind of copying machine (according to other sources, a KGB camera) and an observatory. Although, a certain Rubin-Zorkiy is mentioned on the resource exponat-online.ru, but there is a photograph only upon request, and it is not a fact that it will be sent.

Observe the large and comfortable firing knob and the crown over rewind knob. best seen in the next picture
