But before you go and pull the trigger on a Zorki-3C rangefinder like the one above, we suggest reading the guide below from our pals at KosmoFoto.
It covers everything from where to buy, what to look for, the most-popular models, repair advice, Leica 'look-alikes', and much much more.
Even if you're not necessarily interested in buying a Soviet camera, the sheer amount of camera history and fascinating facts make it worthy of your eyeballs.
