I am thinking about buying a Zorki 6 from Fedka. Does this camera have framlines for the various available lens?

From what I recall, Leningrads have framelines for a few lenses, FED 5 for 50mm.

I don't know of any others with framelines at all, nor do I recall any with parallax correction.

Leningrads have framelines (I believe). The only FED/Zorki to have them is the FED 5C, which has a simpified 50mm frame with a fixed parallax-correction. Not a very successful idea, in practice.

According to Princelle's book, the Kometa had parallax correcting frame lines for 50/85/135 lenses, keyed by the lens mounted. Might be tough to find one as there were apparently only two made. The Droog/Drug has "frame lines for 50 and 85mm fields, not parallax corrected."
Something like 23,000 of those were made so they ought to be a bit easier to come by!
The Kiev 5 has frame lines too, but I'm not sure for which lenses--50 and 85 I think?--and is parallax corrected also.
