As with other Soviet-era rangefinders, the Mir's shutter speed selector rotates when the shutter is released, and should not be changed until after the shutter has been cocked. If you change the shutter speed without cocking the shutter first, the setting pin can be broken when you advance the film and cock the shutter.
The Mir is slightly simplified version of the well known former Soviet Union) Leica inspired camera, the Zorki 4, lacking the slow shutter speed mechanism (it also lacks the fastest speed of 1/1000 second). Whereas the Zorki 4 was released for export from behind the iron curtain, the Mir was intended for internal consumption only.
It was offered with the Industar-22 50mm f/3.5, the Industar-26 50mm f/2.8, or the Jupiter-8 50mm f/2. Jupiter-8 is a KMZ copy of Zeiss Sonnar.
The Zorki-4 is a Russian Leica inspired camera that loosely based on the Leica II/III.

WAAROM FOTOGRAFEREN MET EEN CAMERA EN LENS DIE OUDER ZIJN DAN ... ?
me zelf
Het is meer als een trend. Het gevoel en het (moeizaam) bedienen van deze camera, Al kijkend door de zoeker zie je een livebeeld, een echt levend beeld. Zo komt het natuurlijk niet op je film. Door ervaring kan je met deze camera al een goede gissing maken, hoe je beeld gaat worden. Ook al is er nog steeds ruimte voor toeval en improvisatie. . Zonder kennis ? , is fotograferen plots weer heel moeilijk geworden. Met deze combinatie fotografeer je langzaam, misschien hierdoor preciezer, maar in ieder geval met heel veel plezier. het resultaat ? Daar ben jij als fotograaf honderd procent verantwoordelijk voor.
Nee, het is geen trend. Of misschien wel. Vintage is in , al jaren gewild. Vintage is goed voor de maatschappij, Je herbruikt dingen, van vroeger, met herinneringen, wie weet wat er allemaal al gefotografeerd is met deze camera, je denkt er over na.... je denkt.... vooraleer je bewust op de ontspanner duwt....
