Posted - Apr 22 2015 : 3:52:15 PM The following photo is from Massimo Bertacchi's website. It's a Zorki-1b without serial number. Obviously the top-plate is from a Zorki-1d/e. Interesting is the speed-dial with 1/1000. The latest 1/1000 should occur on early Fed-Zorki from 1949, but not on Zorki-1a/b. The grip on the speed-dial is also interesting, I never saw this on a Zorki. Where is it from?

Posted - Apr 24 2015 : 03:38:10 AM Ah, Jacques is back from holidays. Hope you had a good rest, but I doubt you could stay away from ebay for some days.
The lens is from 1963, nothing special to me, but I'm not so deep into lenses.
The good thing on Massimo's website is, he has really BIG pictures when you click on them. A link (Innovative Cameras 135) is on sovietcams.com.

Amitiés. Jacques.

Posted - Apr 23 2015 : 3:33:40 PM Hi Lenny, this camera seems to be assembled from parts of different cameras, top-plate could be simply replaced. You are right, the speed-dial seems to be from FED-Zorki, there were two different versions: 1/500 and 1/1000. Unfortunately I cannot check my cameras now, I am not at home and come back only on Mo. I will post here on Tu.
