I. Purpose
The “Zorki-6” is a modern roll-film minicamera with lever-type shutter setting.
The camera is intended for a wide range of versatile photography; it is used with equal success by
amateur photographers and cameramen.
The lever-type shutter setting mechanism is coupled with both the film transport mechanism and the
picture counting mechanism, so that setting of the shutter automatically advances the film after each
exposure, the picture counter indicating the number of exposures made. This feature of design gives
the “Zorki-6” advantages as compared to earlier models of the “Zorki” family, allowing the operator to
quickly prepare the camera for taking the picture and to make several shots without removing the
camera from the eye.
