Like-a-Leica: The Zorki 1 (e)

The Zorki came from the Russian camera manufacturer, Krasnogorsk Mekanicheski Zavod or KMZ,
which translates as Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory. The word "Zorki" means "Sharp-sighted".
The Leica II was inspiration behind the Zorki Range-finder camera from 1949 till 1973.

This particular Zorki 1(e) camera was manufactured in 1955. It is a copy of the Leica II.
The lens is an Industar-22 3.5/50. It is a copy of a Leitz Elmar.
