Zorki 10 Vintage Camera

The KMZ Zorki 10  (КМЗ Зо́ркий-10) is a fixed-lens rangefinder produced during the Cold War by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Works (Красногорский механический завод) in the city of Krasnogorsk just outside Moscow. The Zorki 10 is recognized for being the very first camera with automatic exposure ever produced in the USSR as well as the first Soviet camera to disregard the government-established GOST (ГОСТ) scale by indicating film speeds with the American/German ASA/DIN systems that would eventually become ISO, the current international standard. 

The design, it's the epitome of functional modernism, very sleek metal lines. It was apparently inspired by the Ricoh 35 camera. Check out the cool "Made in USSR" stamp on the side.
Also check out the really cool bottom mounted trigger wind and film counter. Just the thing every spy shooter needs. The Zorki is extremely well designed for the era it was made in.
