Danke 
Yes. Clearly smoother than FED/Zorki, but same level as the incredible TSVVS

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... |

Sure, body # 484258 and lens # 629111 which is a bit older I suppose? 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:

Ulrich, I am mistaken then, was too long ago, the Zenit Junior must've been with someone else then, maybe even Juhani, but with someone here ..
It is a very nice mint Leica!

Yes. By the tables, your lens was delivered in 1946, and I have checked for the body: 1949. Thanks for the photo. Can I use it on this site: http://www.summilux.net/index.php for a discussion?
Amitiés. Jacques. |

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.
Best regards, Juhani |

Wow quite a nice purchase! I have the same Sputnik too, and Alain Berry had one but I think it was it's the entire shaft from Sputnik was transplanted. I agree with Juhani, but nice Feds and a PDF Zorki!! |

You also need a red one, and a no-name one  Also the LOMO 35F-1 fits well to that triplet

Hi Fred, wow! Some interesting stuff! and a lot of fakes! Smena-18, Global 35 have fake logos and all those crazy Smena Symbols! 
The Lomo 35F-1 is very nice and Elikon-3 is superbs, nice rare cameras! Congratulations!

The one between Lomo and Elikon, that should also be a true rarity. And Albar-15, what shutter speeds does it have? The previous owner has certainly been a collector, but for me the oddity is the big amount of fakes.

Hi Juhani
Shutter of Albar is up to 1000. S/N is 9316220. It is the second 1/1000 I have found..
I don't know exactly who was the previous owner. What I know is that he is still alive. He had about 3000 soviet cameras. The auction house has done many sales from 2016 till today. Last year they sold a Zenit square Logo (fake???) for +/- 2500 euros and I could buy a Foton. Please would you help and tell me what cameras are fake in the pics I listed ?
Thank you so much!!
Fred

Hi Fred!
My best congratulations on the new cameras for your collection! Some of these samples look really weird, since fitted with faked nameplates. Could you give me some serial numbers from the photograph below? These cameras are marked with question sign. Thanks in advance!

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

Thanks a lot, Fred!
the only problem is with recognizing serial numbers on your picture ... the resolution of your picture is to low to understand everything correctly ... Could you send the good quality picture to my private mail, please?
Best regards, Aidas |

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 :( |

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. http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent2/1652020_Fed Stereo.jpg

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! |

3 weeks and nobody posting anything. so I will just show my latest purchases, nothing special...

 a late fed 50mm lens, an industar-10 type which I had not tested yet on my A7 camera page
 a zenit SLR camera just for the helios 44 lens
 a skf_1 stereo attachment, obviously NOS (new old stock)
 attached to a zenit, but it will be used on the A7
 the viewer part attached.
I hope the forum will wake up again soon...

Nothing special here, like you, Reinhard...
Just a Fed 1d, with a touch of colour, welcome in that grey world... We can just hope that 2021 will be better. And that USSRphoto will wake up!
