I have had my Zorki 4k and Jupiter 8 50mm f2 for ages but I have only put 2 rolls of film through it.
I don’t know why I have not used this camera more as it handles great and the results from the the 1st 2 rolls were also very pleasing.
As with my first attempts, getting the framing correct is still a bit hit or miss especially if trying to frame pretty tight.
So I have to leave plenty of space just to make sure I get the shot but thats not really a huge problem.
HP5 shoots great with the Jupiter 8 giving quite smooth out of focus areas while still getting great contrast which is what I like about HP5.
I am going to try to shoot this camera much more from now on and I have been looking on eBay for a nice lens hood as the lens is prone to quite a bit of flare.
Thanks for looking

these are wonderful. I had that same setup and loved it…these images really make me miss it!
Thanks for looking…. as I said in the post I am going to shoot this combination much more in the future 🙂
Lovely collection of shots. Yes, the HP5 is just delicious to use. I have no experience with a Zorki but recently I’ve been looking on eBay for one without deciding yet.
I like the Zorki 4k as it has a shutter speed of 1000sec and a proper film advance lever unlike the older Zorkis.
Used to have an old Zorki great little camera and the lens was also sharp

The old Zorki was one of my first cameras. I do miss using film but have gotten used to the immediacy of digi. Thanks for sharing.
