Upload Image Smilies [quote][i]Originally posted by Jacques M.[/i] [br] Hello, I have just bought a Fed 2 with a serial number beginning by "A" as a prefix. It's not the first time I see one of these Fed 2, but they are not common. Do you have one of these Fed? But why this A ?.. Fed usually don't use letters in their numberings... I wonder if it couldn't be an intermediate decision of the factory after the first million of Fed 2-s: the first Fed 3-s, in production since 1961, were already using numberings beginning by 100xxxx. It would explain too the very quick jump for the Fed 3-s from 1 million to two... to let some space for the Fed 2-s. Of course, I think of Kiev-s too: some of them have A or B prefix. Anyway, there are always unsolved mysteries, even with cameras that don't worth much! [:D] Amitiés. Jacques. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
