Hi Doro,

According to what I was taught, mine is an Orion-15: 28mm F6, one of the
best resolving russian optics and considered a collector's item which price
is usually over 130 euro. Design probably based on the Topogon 25 F4 (Carl
Zeiss Jena) 4 elements in 4 groups. Serial # 5903399, the period 'round 1960
is considered the best of russian optics (this would have been made in
1959).

I'm no expert on russian cameras/optics, another member of this list told me
all I wrote above, but seems to be easy to find info on this in the web.

Did you publish your Zorki 2 pictures?

Saludos,

Fernando.
