Zorki 4 – Custom Painted 35mm Rangefinder Camera with Matching Lens & Lens Cap

The Zorki 4 is one of the most iconic Soviet 35mm rangefinder cameras, admired for its robust construction and timeless Leica-inspired design. This particular camera has been transformed into a true statement piece with a custom-painted finish, including the camera body, matching lens, and lens cap, creating a beautifully unified look.

The camera was carefully prepared before painting using epoxy primer, followed by durable spray paint and fine acrylic detailing. It is finished with a protective varnish to help preserve the artwork and provide a long-lasting finish. Every painted element has been completed by hand, making this camera a truly unique blend of vintage engineering and contemporary artistry.

Mechanically, the camera is in working condition and operates as intended. The lens is clean, with only a small glass bubble inside one of the optical elements. This is a manufacturing imperfection occasionally found in vintage lenses and does not affect functionality or image quality.

Please note that this is a custom-painted finish, not the original factory coating. While sealed for durability, it should still be handled with care. Avoid contact with sharp or metal objects, and prevent rubbing against zippers, buttons, or rough surfaces to preserve the artwork.
