darin: keep in mind, the Zorki 1 has a seperate rangefinder window (you have to focus first and then take a look into another "window", the actual finder). No Zorki 1 has flash sync! (there are a lot of Zorkis, especially 1D's that have been factory modified with a flash socket in the top plate which is synchronized at a 1/20th). if you could get one of these, I say get it, flash sync is always good.
note2: This camera requires a Leica style film leader, which is 18 to 22mm wide and 85mm long, and then curves upwards for a total length of 10 or 11 cm. I must warn you that there must be no sharp edges as they will catch on the shutter curtain and damage the rubber backing!
it needs a bit practice but it's just a great camera, really really well build.
