Uncommon Zorki 4

I have found this Zorki 4. It has uncommon leatherette and comes with a silver Jupiter 8 lens in shape of the later black ones. The camera is from 1969, these lenses were introduced from 1968 on (as I know) so it seems to match the camera.

On Aidas site (http://sovietcams.com/index.php?-629362375) I can see a similar camera (PM 1810) but the one on the site has straplugs and was built in 1967.

I think this leatherette is quite rare, I have never had a Zorki 4 with it before and on ebay they show very infrequently.

Hi Ulrich,

very interesting Zorki-4, I haven't seen such leather covering on Zorki as well, but I have a Revueflex-E (export Zenit-E) with such leather covering and it is also from 1969. May be there was a batch of cameras in 1969 on KMZ, which were generally made with this leather covering?

Regards, Alexander

On fotoua.com you can see KMZ Zenit-E type 1a from 1966 and type 3a from 1968 with such cover, also on sovietcams.com second photo from 1966.

But what is the difference between a Zenit-E and ES?
Edit: Ahh I forgot, ES is from a photosniper, I have one too.
