Hello!
A very interesting thing in this book about the numberings used by Fed.
It is said in appendix 3 that the Fed 2-s were engraved with ordinal numbers till c. 1100000 in 1961, the next ones have cipher engravings (probably because of the first Fed 3-s which are numbered in the same range, I suppose).
So, does anybody know which ciphers were used by the factory? It would be essential to establish a relation between serial number and year of production...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Too much errors, perhaps.
But there are some very interestings things too.
For example, about Fed 1s. It is said in the appendix 2 that no camera can be found between 182292 and 210024. In fact, I never saw any Fed 1 after 184000 and before 209000 if we except the Red Flags of course.
Not so bad...
Right to say that some lines after, he speaks about unnumbered 1 after #540000. A pity he didn't have a look at the back part of the cover...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Michel... hehehe.. yes this is book is quite outdated, but I found it on my hard drive (Aidas, I think I just found it on the Russian RFF site), so I decided to upload it since it was not in catalog already.. just for archiving purposes.

P.S. The disgusting book... :( TOO MANY ERRORS. The incredible quantity of errors... It is impossible to Yury Ryshkov... I don't believe that he was an author... |

All these mistakes are made by compiler, I guess. While having small book by Ryshkov in Russian, I can to synchronize the data indeed ...
BTW this catalogue in english was my very first purchase on eBay !
Best Regards,
Aidas

Also very useful appendixes with production volumes for FEDs and Zorkis...

... I was lucky to hold Zenit-11 (Zenit-4 type) in my very own hands ...  |
