My newest find, a like new FED 1b with low serial number (11367). It has very fine and shiny chrome and a much finer vulcanite. It seems to be PE0185 as described on Aidas' site. I had to disasssemble it because of hard curtains, and under a lot of dirt and grind I have found this beauty:

Hello Jacques,
very nice camera, congratulation! What do you mean with "40 items only"? Where did you find this wrong information?


Regards, Alexander

Hi Alexander,
I found an allusion on this legend on Sovietcam.com. False, of course. About that question, it could be interesting to complete a bit the s/n we have in the wiki: are there "ordinary" non-Ukrainian Kiev III inside the range?
Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,

I had an Ukrainian Kiev IIIa with serial number 5828601 and a normal Kiev IIIa with serial number 5828053. So really close together.

And, if the number of about 40 KIIV IIIa is wrong, what do you think how much of them were made? I have no idea.

Added in the wiki. Thanks, Ulrich.
I will have a look to find other ones, if possible.
No idea about the real number of the "Ukrainian" Kiev IIIa...
Amitiés. Jacques.
PS: your early Feb 1b is absolutely beautiful!

Jacques,

thanks, yes, the FED is now one of the beautifuls I own.

Here is another like-new camera, a Zorki 2. It works perfectly and after a CLA it is quiet as a Leica. It comes with the original Zorki 2 leather case, spool and film cassette.

I like the Zorki 2 more than the Zorki, because of the selftimer and that you can change the speeds even it is not cocked.

The engraved versions seem to be more rare than the one with the logo stamped in. But I have not seen a rule when they were engraved and when they were stamped. That seems to be mixed over the few years they were built.

Nice camera indeed, Jacques.

Mine's nr. 5834666, with matching Jupiter-8 nr. 5841216, as already reported elsewhere in this webpage already.

All the best,

Enzo

Rather rare, but the 40 items only are a legend!
Very happy with this symbolic camera.

Amitiés. Jacques.

Thanks, Enzo.

A Zorki 1 "black nylon" arrived some days ago. Not so common, I think.
The camera was equipped with an Industar 26M, certainly not original. But this one is interesting: it's a very early one with big ciphers.

And this morning, it was a "no name" Kiev, from 1963.
It came without lens, but I have had a correct Sonnar for a long time...
