What it is

Lens mount
Leica screw mount (LTM/M39)

The FED-Zorki is a Soviet 35mm rangefinder camera derived from the pre-war FED copy of the Leica II, produced in a small transitional run when FED tooling was moved during and after the Second World War and output was shared with the Zorki plant at KMZ. It uses the Leica screw (M39) lens mount and was aimed at general photographic use rather than as a premium instrument.

Inspect the top-plate engraving carefully, as reworked or faked FED-Zorki markings are a known risk on Soviet Leica copies; check that the shutter curtains are light-tight and run at all marked speeds, and that the rangefinder image is present and aligned. Confirm the lens is a period-correct Leica-thread optic and that body and lens serials are consistent with a genuine transitional example; service support is limited to independent Soviet-camera specialists.

Questions

How much does a FED-Zorki sell for compared with a standard FED or Zorki?

A genuine transitional FED-Zorki typically sells for several times the price of a standard post-war FED 1 or Zorki 1, reflecting its short production and collector interest rather than any difference in everyday usability.

Why does the price vary so much?

Value is driven by the authenticity of the engraving, condition of the shutter and rangefinder, and whether the camera retains a correct period lens; fakes and reworked tops are common, so verified examples command the upper end of the range.
