The Zorki-3C camera was essentially part of a line of Soviet rangefinder cameras with an added sync contact. The series included this camera, Zorki-C, and Zorki-2C. These devices essentially differed from their main production models only by the presence of a sync contact and minor design changes. Zorki-3C also differed from its main model primarily by the presence of a sync contact, but had more visual differences, and was more similar to the next model called Zorki-4.
