A slightly overcast sky provided some nice light for an early morning walk through the neighborhood with the 35mm Jupiter 12 lens on the Zorki 6.

That is a - er - funny looking camera. But the lens seems very capable. Nice exposures.
Well, the Zorki 6 does not look like a Leica, but that was part of a long process which did start with a very close copy of the Barnack design. The Zorki 6 is bigger and heavier than preceding models, but it does have quite a few functional enhancements which include a back that opens for easy film loading. The lever advance is speedy and smooth. The viewfinder and rf spot are available in a single window, and the wide base provides good accuracy. The top speed is just 1/500 and there are no slow speeds, but those limitations seem to me to be a good trade for improved reliability. The lens mount is the same as the Barnack style cameras, so the long line of good Soviet glass remains available.
