Hello Alexander

Do you know the collector personally? Is he member on UssrPhoto.com? Never heard of him. I saw only four pages of his book and had some questions about. The connection from TSVVS with FED is probably unlikely. Very unlikely.

I ordered the book some days ago when lindemanns.de made a advertising for and I will take a deeper look at it as soon it will arrive. I documentent the Zorki history years ago (in german) on my homepage (http://www.g-st.ch/privat/kameras/zorki.html) and I'm happy to read any new version of this history. Also the known FED history I'm working on and it will be intersting too to see the differences.

Best wishes - Guido

Hi Guido,

I also never heard about him and I have also ordered this book. I have read a lot of different information about these cameras, also original russian books and investigations and I not really hope to find any new information, but I like to be surprised .


Regards, Alexander
