levonsa	Posted - Feb 24 2018 : 4:29:42 PM Thanks guys! I'm just showing the neighboring ##. ..
Alfa2	Posted - Feb 22 2018 : 1:36:02 PM Can I complain a little bit ? It would be better to have 2 FEDs B with consecutive numbers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it was only a joke Beautiful levonsa, congratulations.
Jacques M.	Posted - Feb 22 2018 : 06:57:01 AM Hats off! Jacques.
levonsa	Posted - Feb 22 2018 : 05:38:18 AM Jacques thank you! #173710 is FED B !
Jacques M.	Posted - Feb 22 2018 : 05:20:39 AM Bravo once more, Alexey! Is the body really a Fed B one?? Thanks for sharing! Jacques.

Jacques M.	Posted - Feb 08 2018 : 09:46:30 AM Ha, ha! When I saw your post, Alexey, I rushed to my board, but the Fed 1a s/n 4642 is always here! We already discussed about this camera here. http://ussrphoto.com/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2002 For me, it's a mix Fed/Leica, with a Leica shutter box. All that was re-chromed together: the chrome is homogeneous and finer than on the other ~~pre production~~ prewar cameras. As for the lens, a mix again with the body of an Elmar and the optics from a Fed (position of the diaphragm). Really, much work: the owner was attached to this camera. Amiti�s. Jacques.
Luiz Paracampo	Posted - Feb 07 2018 : 09:06:02 AM I believe these could be a kotleta different speed knobs, abcense of shoe in in model, and different screw on rewind crank pehaps diferente metal finish and Fonts on engravings Regards LP

levonsa	Posted - Jan 23 2018 : 04:55:22 AM Louiz greetings! Thank you, but these cameras are not mine, but my friend S.Pseunok ....
Luiz Paracampo	Posted - Jan 22 2018 : 5:40:59 PM Hello Levon Are you producing those cameras? The number on the booklet is Fantastic!
Luiz Paracampo	Posted - Jan 22 2018 : 5:38:20 PM strange at least the different logos Regards LP

Alfa2	Posted - Sep 30 2017 : 04:54:31 AM Thanks Jacques I saw recently Zorki number 67XX. There were "old" speed dial and "old" knobs.
levonsa	Posted - Sep 29 2017 : 10:17:28 AM Friends! In a particular case, Zorki #07026 is not authentic. In Russia, such options are called "Cutlet". But the top cover in any case is original and that's why we will be happy because it has a twin.
Jacques M.	Posted - Sep 29 2017 : 09:20:33 AM I have a good listing about Fed-Zorki and Zorki 1a (but I am not alone, eh, Alexey!). It seems that speed dials and button release were mixed up to s/n 9000-10000. So, a great box with mixed parts, probably... Amiti�s. Jacques.
Alfa2	Posted - Sep 29 2017 : 03:35:05 AM Yes, I wonder if the speed dial was changed in 7076 in a service some yesrs after production. Or maybe in a factory there was one box with "old" and "new" speed dials and worker choosed them randomly.
Jacques M.	Posted - Sep 28 2017 : 05:47:40 AM Interesting. It seems that the s/n 7027 has a Fed-Zorki speed dial, and the 7026 already a Zorki one. Thanks, Alexey.
levonsa	Posted - Sep 28 2017 : 01:59:58 AM Hello! Thank you so much Enn Helem�e! http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/2892017_222.jpg
Jacques M.	Posted - Sep 16 2017 : 2:35:04 PM Bravo, Altix! So, a 1,5/5cm lens, officially. But possibly 6cm, by S.H., and by the diameter... Jacques.
levonsa	Posted - Sep 16 2017 : 2:10:31 PM Super!
altix	Posted - Sep 16 2017 : 06:05:05 AM Two fake Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnars in Contax mount.

levonsa	Posted - Sep 11 2017 : 01:25:31 AM Jacques, Guido hello! Thank you for viewing this post regularly! Jacques, of course I do not have three FS-2s. I have only one copy. http://ussrcameras.com/catalog/57
Jacques M.	Posted - Sep 11 2017 : 01:05:38 AM No, I had not seen that, Guido. I was just wondering about these ultra rare items... (thanks, Alexey!) It seems that the "4" are not always the same, open or closed. Probably you are right. But I am not sure to see correctly. Amiti�s. Jacques.
Guido	Posted - Sep 10 2017 : 2:51:28 PM Hello Alexey, Jacques Do you have seen the "4" in the s/n? I'm wondering ... Best wishes - Guido
Jacques M.	Posted - Sep 10 2017 : 2:39:46 PM Ha ha! If you have too many photosnipers at home, perhaps some of us could help you, Alexey? But I suppose that the three ones are not yours... If possible, would you have the s/n of the bodies, just to compare with the others we have? Amiti�s. Jacques.

Fred_L	Posted - Jun 24 2017 : 04:36:19 AM Hi all I have the black one for several years and the chrome one arrived last week from an English auction room... Maybe they come from different areas and lens engraving is different, but how to explain the consecutive numbers on bodies and same number on lenses??? It's more than a coincidence I think... I suppose they were made by same guy? Fred
Jacques M.	Posted - Jun 23 2017 : 08:21:54 AM Hi Fred! You have them made by special order? You are too strong! Amiti�s. Jacques.
Luiz Paracampo	Posted - Jun 23 2017 : 07:45:35 AM these are "forced" twins once botha ameras belong from diferente eras Lens engraving fonts are also diferente Regards LP
Fred_L	Posted - Jun 22 2017 : 10:42:19 AM Hi all!! Best in twins!! Fake Contaxes with serial 307 and 308.... And have a look at lenses serial number!!! More than twins?

Jacques M.	Posted - May 08 2017 : 05:49:46 AM Thanks, Alexey for these two cameras, a NKVD 1d and a S. So, once more we see that the Fed S certainly were not numbered by batches. Really very curious. I really wonder if we will find the same for Fed accessories: http://ussrphoto.com/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3180 Amiti�s. Jacques.
