Unfortunately, the equipment in the laboratory did not have the correct sensor. I could only measure the thickness, it was 0.6mm above the serial number and 0.7mm above the logo.
One theory is that the camera was stolen from the factory before the logo was engraved.

Jacques, very nice FED :-)
2 nice items arrived here the last time:
A 50 years October Zorki 4 with dark blue silk screening of the logo:
And an early ZK 1,5/50 from 1948 for M39:

Another Fed, not yet here. A rare 1f "romashka".

(seller's photo)
I will open a thread about the early 1f when this one is here.
These early 1f are the last on the tortuous lane which starts from the late 1e, followed by the Fed Arsenal and the "Red Flag"...

So, no doubt, it's a Fed.
As for the year... Probably 1940, by what I see. 1941 would be too late, and the 1939 ones probably still have a yellow brass shutter box with such a month.
Does the pressure film plate has a hole (after c. # 150000) or not (before that number) to confirm? If nothing was changed!
Amitiés. Jacques. |

my suggestion nd speculation:
Considering the totally different case and lens (also firing knob), it could be first prototype generation of Neuca which were really overhauled war surplus Feds intended to be sold in Europe.
This was an obscure period (1945-1949) when lots of German engeneers were working in Soviet factories.

Hi Martti,
Yes, there should be a date (day and month only) engraved on the shutter box, where you insert the film. It corresponds to the checking of the mechanism, before the complete assembling. It's not always readable because of the erasion by the cartridge.
Here is an example: 16 X (or XI ?

Have you found the missing window?

Hello Vlad and everybody else!
Is there a date marked inside, on the shutter box?
I will look after.
Will try to find out from the seller, where did he get it. He used it last time in 90s.
What to you think, is it possible to look through the surface with some medical device, xray of something? |

These windows can be seen only on the 1a and very early 1b. And too when there was a special reason to check the register. For the moment, I don't know if this camera is original or was assembled with spare parts...

Hi Martti, welcome back! Haven't seen you around in a long time!  . I have a similar one but with unfinished chroming. I think the engraving has been filled (instead of filed down) and entire top cover has been re-chromed for later transformation into a Feica, I've encountered a few of these. Someone did a very good job.
Best regards,
Vlad |
| Jacques M. |
Posted - Jun 21 2021 : 08:47:37 AM
A cover erased, then re-chromed, waiting for another engraving? But it seems there is no difference between the chromes cover/upper plate. So, a cover originally non engraved?
To know more, is there a date marked inside, on the shutter box?
Jacques.
PS: it seems you miss the RF front window. PM if you need one. |

Hi Martti,
Certainly a Fed NKVD 1d/1e, by what I see. Without engravings (are there traces of erasure ?).
The lens is very interesting in itself: a LTM Sonnar 2/5cm. Do you have its serial number or a photo of the beauty ring?

The biggest camera in my collection (bigger even than a Kiev 60 ;-) ) - I have finally got an FKD 13x18.
Lens is a KOMZ and from 1956 if they followed the usual serial number conventions. The nameplate seems to show it was made in Kharkov (харкiв in Ukrainian. I guess that's Orgtechnica?

That's a really lovely looking camera! Looks great all in black. I do like Zenit Bs and the pancake Industar suits it better than a Helios 44.
I have a black Kiev 4AM which to me looks much nicer than the metal finish but alas that one isn't original - it has been refinished. Very nicely done, though.

I was looking for this camera for quite some years. I already bought 2 others, one had a broken meter and a broken film advance, the other a working meter, but also a broken film advance. so I had given up until vlad recommended okvintagecamera.com a few weeks ago. I bought this one from them. as we will have some days of very bad weather, testing will wait until next week...

Fed 35. Quite a rare camera but unfortunately the shutter is jammed open (if anyone has any tips on repair please let me know!). Other small defect is there's no plastic in the frame counter window - just a hole. I'm guessing that's not how it was originally.
According to Princelle this camera has manual, automatic and semi-automatic modes. But I'm not sure how you would select the different modes, apart from the A on the shutter speed select like a Fed 50.
Nice addition for the cabinet, in any case.

Hi everyone!
I just got a zorkij 1, I think its's a 1d. But it's serial (461939) would indicate that it has the accent ring around the mount (according to the table I found at https://www.fedka.com/Frames/Main_Frame.htm), that it does not have. Also, it's a "zorki-zorki", a one with both cyrillic and latin engraving on top. It has its serial on the back. Is it possible that it was made like this, or it was put together from several cameras? (altogether it looks great, needs a little cleaning, the rubber covering looks old, but it works fine)
Thanks if you help me! |
