yes this seems like someone just wanted to personalize their Kiev [:)].]]> Jacques M.@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=3674&REPLY_ID=22080 Collectors and Users Open Forum Fri, 13 Dec 2024 08:10:59 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3674 Quote:

Bad news here.
I have received the 1d s/n 169580 and it is already partly dismounted.
In fact, the shell doesn't exactly fit the mechanism. It should correspond to a number around 145000, while the mechanism with the upper plate (and the rangefinder) could be original. And of course the six external screws suffered a bit as the holes are not exactly in place...

So, nothing really interesting with this camera.
Just a detail: there is no date on the speedbox. It's just the same on my 164433 and 165898. Curious...

Lol, I was about say "I have been 'shooting, shooting shooting' well, sort of", but I've just realised the half-frame film I've got in a padded envelope ready to post too the lab, has been there since July, so what I've really be doing is more like ssssssshhhhhoooootttttiiiiinnnnggg in slow motion.]]> seany65@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=3621&REPLY_ID=22077 Collectors and Users Open Forum Sun, 08 Dec 2024 19:12:06 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3621 Quote:
I don't use social media either. I don't post a great deal on here, partly because I tend to get a bit "carried away" with other forums or researching things I want to buy and generally being easily distracted, but mostly because I only have two pieces of Soviet gear: one Fed 3A and one Industar 26M. I have in the past owned or thought of buying other Soviet gear (previously owned: several each of Zorki 4k, Fed 2, Fed 4, one Lubitel 166B and one Lomo blik. Thought of buying: one or other of the "improved" Kiev88 cameras), but almost all of what I have now is not allowed to be mentioned here. I also have little knowledge of Soviet cameras etc., consequently I don't really have very much of value to contribute, unless you count saying Hello to new members.]]> uwittehh@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=1466&REPLY_ID=22076 Collectors and Users Open Forum Sun, 08 Dec 2024 14:16:56 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1466 Quote:
Jacques,

yes, you can speculate. Perhaps the FED S were not produced in a batch, but always on the side. And when enough were finished they were given tops with current numbers? Just an idea... but we will never know.

Thanks for posting this photo, Luiz. Hmmm, am I right in thinking that camera was made before the FED? Am I also right in thinking that the rangefinder on the camera was not a copy of the Leica version but was designed in the FED factory?]]>
