Hello to all,

recently this nice camera arrived here:



According to Aidas site it's PM1720, a green 'Youth Festival 1957' version of the engraved Zorki 4. He writes that only a few of these cameras are known to exist. Does anybody know how much were made? I have never seen one before.

Vlad, I also have the engraved version of the "Festival" camera, years ago I got it from Aidas :-) By the way, my green one has serial number 5711408, my engraved one has 5747959. Yours in in between. The numbers spread really wide, about 37000. The lens of the green one is not original, I got it without a lens. But deep in the closet will be a 1957 J-8 I hope.

And no, I have never seen a Zorki 3C with "Festival" engraving. It would be nice to have one. One is listed in the "1200 cameras" book.
