One camera collector quipped that a Zorki C looks like a Zorki 1 that was "beaten with an ugly stick." The "C" has a taller finder to accomodate the flash sychronizer. The rewind switch is now a collar around the shutter release instead of a seperate lever. It doesn't have a self-timer. Some of camera bodies are covered with ribbed nylon instead of vulcanite and come in several colors. 472,702 were manufactured from 1955 to 1958.
