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.

Found this one on ebay, it's a Kiev IIIa from 1956. Not sure about the engraving - was this a camera for the red army?

No, very probably a "home made" inscription, even if there are some (very few) special Kiev III.
Here, for example: http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=48&ParentID=1&ContentID=1270&Item=Kiev+III+Anniversary+1654%2D1954

But a nice camera...

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!!

not a milestone in Soviet production and my collection is not of a high standard.
So it fits perfectly among the others ...

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

Hi All!

Last saturday I went to an auction sale, here in France.
I got some lots as the FEDs I listed here 2 days ago

There were also some big cases (+/-40) with about 25 cameras inside each, including soviet cameras and many others. It was quite difficult to see exactly all cameras in each box...

I bought some boxes, where I had seen some interesting things..

The quality is quite good but it seems that storage was not excellent due to humidity, maybe for a long time.

You will see below pics of some of the cameras I have found in the boxes.
I need some more time to check another box with accessories..

Enjoy!!

Fred

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

A (new) Fed 1a arrived here. A bit improved -the rims of RF/VF)- but happily without accessory clip.

If by chance you have the right black rims, think of me!

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 :(

Zenit APk: After a long and painful reconstruction, it is now fully functional. In my opinion, this model of camera is, despite its Japanese shutter, the most imprecisely manufactured of all Zenit.

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...

it looks fine. mine is an ordinary T series. I have read that T stands for a wider temperature range. guido mentions a P model for polar on his page. does anyone know about the differences between A and T?

Fed 35. Quite a rare camera but unfortunately the shutter is jammed open (if anyone has any tips on repair please let me know!). Other small defect is there's no plastic in the frame counter window - just a hole. I'm guessing that's not how it was originally.

According to Princelle this camera has manual, automatic and semi-automatic modes. But I'm not sure how you would select the different modes, apart from the A on the shutter speed select like a Fed 50.

Nice addition for the cabinet, in any case.

an Iskra-2

in nice condition


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent2/1732021_iskra_2_IMG_6521.JPG
and with a working meter.

I was looking for this camera for quite some years. I already bought 2 others, one had a broken meter and a broken film advance, the other a working meter, but also a broken film advance. so I had given up until vlad recommended okvintagecamera.com a few weeks ago. I bought this one from them. as we will have some days of very bad weather, testing will wait until next week...

That's a nice one! I have an Iskra but the film advance doesn't work properly either - it's a very delicate mechanism. I'd like an Iskra 2 too some day. Okvintagecamera is a great site and the prices look very reasonable to me.

Hi there,

this rare Zenit B arrives here some days ago. It's totally black and like new. According to Aidas site they were only built in 1972 and mine is from 1972 too.

That's a really lovely looking camera! Looks great all in black. I do like Zenit Bs and the pancake Industar suits it better than a Helios 44.

I have a black Kiev 4AM which to me looks much nicer than the metal finish but alas that one isn't original - it has been refinished. Very nicely done, though.

Michael,

I also like the Zenit B, because my first serious camera was a Revueflex B that I got from my older brother in the mid 70ies. It is still in my collection today :-)

The biggest camera in my collection (bigger even than a Kiev 60 ;-) ) - I have finally got an FKD 13x18.

Lens is a KOMZ and from 1956 if they followed the usual serial number conventions. The nameplate seems to show it was made in Kharkov (харкiв in Ukrainian. I guess that's Orgtechnica?

Hi Martti,
Certainly a Fed NKVD 1d/1e, by what I see. Without engravings (are there traces of erasure ?).
The lens is very interesting in itself: a LTM Sonnar 2/5cm. Do you have its serial number or a photo of the beauty ring?

Amitiés. Jacques.

A cover erased, then re-chromed, waiting for another engraving? But it seems there is no difference between the chromes cover/upper plate. So, a cover originally non engraved?
To know more, is there a date marked inside, on the shutter box?

Jacques.
PS: it seems you miss the RF front window. PM if you need one.

Hi Martti, welcome back! Haven't seen you around in a long time! . I have a similar one but with unfinished chroming. I think the engraving has been filled (instead of filed down) and entire top cover has been re-chromed for later transformation into a Feica, I've encountered a few of these. Someone did a very good job.

Best regards,

Yes, Alexander.
These windows can be seen only on the 1a and very early 1b. And too when there was a special reason to check the register. For the moment, I don't know if this camera is original or was assembled with spare parts...

Hello Vlad and everybody else!

Is there a date marked inside, on the shutter box?
I will look after.
Will try to find out from the seller, where did he get it. He used it last time in 90s.
What to you think, is it possible to look through the surface with some medical device, xray of something?

Hi Martti,

Yes, there should be a date (day and month only) engraved on the shutter box, where you insert the film. It corresponds to the checking of the mechanism, before the complete assembling. It's not always readable because of the erasion by the cartridge.

Here is an example: 16 X (or XI ?


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent2/1972021_IMG_0183.JPG

Have you found the missing window?

my suggestion nd speculation:
Considering the totally different case and lens (also firing knob), it could be first prototype generation of Neuca which were really overhauled war surplus Feds intended to be sold in Europe.
This was an obscure period (1945-1949) when lots of German engeneers were working in Soviet factories.

So, no doubt, it's a Fed.
As for the year... Probably 1940, by what I see. 1941 would be too late, and the 1939 ones probably still have a yellow brass shutter box with such a month.
Does the pressure film plate has a hole (after c. # 150000) or not (before that number) to confirm? If nothing was changed!

Another Fed, not yet here. A rare 1f "romashka".

I will open a thread about the early 1f when this one is here.
These early 1f are the last on the tortuous lane which starts from the late 1e, followed by the Fed Arsenal and the "Red Flag"...

Unfortunately, the equipment in the laboratory did not have the correct sensor. I could only measure the thickness, it was 0.6mm above the serial number and 0.7mm above the logo.
One theory is that the camera was stolen from the factory before the logo was engraved.

I received a KMZ Jupiter-3 with a Serial Number higher than what I've seen before. This is my 4th KMZ J-3 made in 1956. This one is different: the fixture for the rear triplet is similar to the ZOMZ. The sides are the same thickness 2.0mm as my other 1956 KMZ J-3's. The 1956 ZOMZ shown here - thickness is 2.2mm.

1956 ZOMZ left; 1956 KMZ 56040xx Middle; 1956 KMZ 5601xxx right.

I think this is a PT1635 using the recomputed formula using Russian glass rather than Schott glass. I'll be testing against the 1956 ZOMZ and earlier KMZ with the Zeiss style rear fixture. The optical block was mounted in a 1970s ZOMZ LTM focus mount, I did a full teardown. Maybe some blocks were found and mounted for sale? The glass is perfect.

One more shot, ZOMZ left and KMZ right. New style fixture with threads on leading edge of the fixture and guide ring for better alignment into the barrel.

Early KMZ Turret Finder,

Opened it up to clean, found what looks like Zeiss Numbers.

The early finder is the mirror image (almost) of the later model. I assume the reversal was to use the new finder on a Zorki/Fed.
Did KMZ continue making both versions of the finder? I've seen some 4-digit SN finders that are oriented as the new ones.

I've decided that having received my FED 3A(5) back from the technician now in full working order and can be used, that it counts as "Just arrived in my collection", even though I bought it about ten weeks ago. Serial number on the body: 3217441, serial number on the fed Industar 26m lens:1871128. Both are excellent condition. The focusing ring is smooth and doesn't turn when the aperture ring is turned and I can't really see any dust in it, the lens's body also looks like it's not been very dirty at any time. The camera body is clean and only shows any "age" in a few very tiny places, most noticeably a tiny bit of brassing on the eyepiece.

Long time without any new filmcameras, until today. My Latvian friend sent me a Zenit-E, which could be considered a bit dull, and not worth sending as the lens is an Industar. But this was from first owners legacy, so in great condition, plus with brown full leather case. So not black, nor with plastic "nose". Not a typical case in 1974 IIRC?

Best regards,
Juhani

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

Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,

nice find. I like these Ukrainian KIIVs. On the 42 Leitz Photograpica Auction is one listed, with the nice red box. Estimated price there ist 6000-7000 Euro...
