Camera Model:
Zorki - C Rangefinder( Leica II clone), it uses Leica thread mount lenses.
in the early days of 35mm everyone was copying the German stuff. Canon was copying Leicas and Nikon was copying Contax/Zeiss. The soviets oddly enough copied the Leica Bodies but Zeiss lenses.
Industar 26m Lens (zeiss tessar 50mm 2.8 clone), super sharp lens.
I upgraded it from the standard slow lens that came with it.
Lens is adaptable to any modern mirrorless camera, I use it on my Sony A7!
Approximate age of Body:
65 years, serviced 6 months ago
It's good for another 60+ years
All shutter speeds work and are accurate, shutter has no leaks.
All inner mechanical parts were service, rangefinder was calibrated.
PC sync port is compatible with modern digital flashes/triggers.
Body Condition:
Camera is built like a tank, pure aluminum and brass, better than any camera ever made in Japan.
some wear marks, has scratches on the shutter dial(which is easily replaceable) and on front cover which can be buffed out. Neither bothered me so I left it as is. Lens has slight oil on the aperture blades, but is 100% fully working, no sticking what so ever, opens and closes and is circular. Originally these cameras had a sightly lose base plate, I fixed it by using strips of tape as a buffer. It is firm now, no slop.
Includes for free:
Modern pinch style lens cap(new), 35mm color film roll(new), PC sync port cover, upgraded lens( I can swap for the original 50mm 3.5 collapsible if desired). Pro Photo Irvine develops film super cheap($3.50) and offers worldwide shipping.
Price:
$90 for the camera $10 for priority shipping
If you've never dealt with Russian rangefinders, they were never made for US export. And to ship one here costs $25-50, NOT INCLUDING THE PRICE OF THE CAMERA/LENS. Then because of their age you have to get them serviced which runs $65-100, again NOT INCLUDING THE PRICE OF THE CAMERA/LENS.
You will also get the original metal take up spool, which can be pricey($25) to replace and most of the time is missing. The spool is interchangeable with FED and Leica bodies. PDF user manual will also be included.

Reason for selling:
Downsizing my film bodies, I have two russians RFs so I am selling one. Will also be selling a Canon SLR and Polaroid later this week.
Photos:
Will get better pics later on, I lent my 35mm lens to my cousin and my 50mm doesn't focus close at all.
here's some samples of the lens adapted to my full frame Sony A7, it is sharp. All wide open.
