Zorki 4K adjusted CineStillXX - a photo on Flickriver

Zorki 4K adjusted CineStillXX

My Zorki 4K camera and its Jupiter-8 1:2 f=50 mm normal lens clearly needed a calibration of its range finder. It is a very easy task for the infinite, acting on a small adjustment screw located at the front, left to the finder window. This film is a test of the focusing capability now much more efficient. There still a tiny shift that I will try to optimize soon following the known protocols (tomtiger.home.xs4all.nl/zenrep/calibration.html)

The camera was loaded with a CineStill Double XX (cine film Eastman 5222) exposed for 200 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring privileging the shadows. After exposure the film was processed using Tetenal Ultrafin developer at dilution 1+20 for 12 min and 20°C.

After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.

About the camera :

This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.

Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)
