I'm not sure why button on the camera has new style. Possibly button was replaced at some point. Serial number on the camera the lowest what I can find for Zorki 5. Please check s/n on your camera, if you have earlier camera, or Zorki5 prototype.
The lens is more intriguing for me. I wonder if it original to the camera? Did all early Zorki 5 had "albino" lenses, or this lens some kind of exception?

Hi Okynek,
I think these albinos are seldom, but Alexej must know better if he has several of them.
How do you think about this I-22, it looks so much better than the usual ones.

I remember reading here, someone mentioned a Jupiter-8. The black paint was almost gone because it was shown behind a shop-window for a long time and heavy sunlight made the black paint disappear.
Could it be that it's only poor paint?
