The Revue 10 is a rangefinder camera. KMZ built the camera from 1964 to 1978. The Soviet product was offered by Foto Quelle under its own brand name in the West. The original model name of the 35mm camera is “Zorki 10”.
The camera comes with a fixed lens with a fixed focal length. The Revue 10 has no autofocus. Therefore, you have to focus by hand. The coupled rangefinder helps you to focus. The close-up limit of this lens is 1.5 m.
The 35 mm camera has a built-in meter for measuring the correct exposure. The selenium exposure meter has the advantage that it does not need an external power supply. In return, it loses some of its capacity over the years or stops operating completely.
The camera comes with a bulb mode. An external flash can be used via the PC flash socket. The flash can be connected to an uncoupled accessory shoe.
