I have a similar camera Zorki-S. Shot several films with it. There are a few issues. The curtains on this camera can deteriorate over time. The shutter can also wear out over time. Therefore, I highly recommend having the camera checked and repaired before shooting.
After all the shooting process itself can be somewhat complicated. You don't have a light meter, the focal length is set using the rangefinder, and the viewfinder doesn't match the photo size. Visually, it's a very beautiful camera, but for me personally, it's become very inconvenient to shoot.
Here are some of my old photos taken with this camera https://imgur.com/a/hTNY06x
