Zorki 3 Modifikatsia

A factory variation of original first model Zorki 3 with large slow speed dial - After a regular production with "normal" knobs, this "special series" was built. Why? For what purpose? Note that this large button interferes in several already build Soviet equipment like "PDF" periscopes already shown in this forum.
Was it intended to be used with gloves? Why not the other knobs follow the same purpose?

This is a simple additional removable gripe. This accessory has been made (by KMZ) for convenience of using. The first gripes were with a ratchet, later -- without it.

So a rare original extra equipment, and this time not a fake like FED-Siperia knobs!
