Zenit APk: After a long and painful reconstruction, it is now fully functional. In my opinion, this model of camera is, despite its Japanese shutter, the most imprecisely manufactured of all Zenit.

Fed Stereo in complete kit, new and still sealed.
(projector, accessories and projection screen ).
I have not yet decided whether to keep it or to put it up for sale.
In the photo the open kit of a friend of mine who bought some years ago.

Hello Jacques,
Yes, Rangefinder Glass is Zeiss's. The camera is in very good condition and fully working. Never dismantled since 1949. Really I'm reluctant to open it only to check the inside :( |

Beautiful! But it's not your first one, if I remember!
Does it have Contax parts?

Please would you help and tell me what cameras are fake in the pics I listed ?

Ciao Fred,
very healthy envy for many things, mostly Lomo 35F-1.
greetings from the red zone Covid-19... (Lodi, Italy).
My appeal to everyone is not to underestimate.
It is not a simple influence. Limit physical contacts
and go out only for what is strictly necessary.
STAY AT HOME !!
BR Luigi

Hi All!
Last saturday I went to an auction sale, here in France.
I got some lots as the FEDs I listed here 2 days ago
There were also some big cases (+/-40) with about 25 cameras inside each, including soviet cameras and many others. It was quite difficult to see exactly all cameras in each box...
I bought some boxes, where I had seen some interesting things..
The quality is quite good but it seems that storage was not excellent due to humidity, maybe for a long time.
You will see below pics of some of the cameras I have found in the boxes.
I need some more time to check another box with accessories..
Enjoy!!
Fred

Great lot, hopefully and likely also good price!
The Lubi is most likely a Kotleta: somenone just added the nameplate from the real SPUTNIK-stereocamera, which is easy. If it were real, there would be more than two specimen seen.

No, very probably a "home made" inscription, even if there are some (very few) special Kiev III.
Here, for example: http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=48&ParentID=1&ContentID=1270&Item=Kiev+III+Anniversary+1654%2D1954

The camera is most likely sold originally in Stockholm Sweden by the ancient sticker in the baseplate inner surface, a well known shop for high-end German cameras. In the post-war Finland it was typical to go over to Sweden for "luxury items", as import here was still restricted.
This picture also shows the vulcanite clearly:

Hi Juhani,
Nice IIIc!
The pattern of its "sharkskin" vulcanite is vertical, like on my IIIa "Monté en Sarre" which is contemporaneous (1949). On the other IIIc "sharkskin" I know, the pattern is horizontal.
Could you give me the s/n of your camera, for my tables, and to discuss with French specialists?
Thanks! Jacques.
PS: sorry to be OT, Vlad... |

Jacques and all others, another shiny camera :)
Some months ago a very early Contax II arrived here, serial Z 50474. As I know the numbering starts with Z 50000, so it seems to be the 474th Contax II! It comes together with a Jena Contax box, original Jena Contax manual and early postwar Sonnar 4/135. A strange combination but I am happy about the box and the manual, only a few manuals are known to exist.
It seems that the camera was not much used:

Hi Juhani! Glad you got the package safe and sound! , it is very funny that you got your camera back considering the fact that I bought it from you originally! LOL! I have gotten a duplicate since then so this one went back into trading pile. I believe the same thing happened with me and Ulrich at some point in the past where I got my own camera back. Very funny! The Soviet Collector's cycle!
Enjoy and congratulations!

Shining new, Ulrich! But you have a special secret to prepare your cameras for photo!
There is a "new" Fed 1b here, s/n 11823. Not far from your 11959, Jed! It will be perfect between my 10020 (window with a hollow on the upper part) and my 12840 (no hole on back; brown vulcanite).

Look at this, a FED 1e Berdsk like new. The chrome looks really bright.

A very early Zorki C (5500571) with the short release button:
And a Zorki 6 with nice latin name:
