Posted - Oct 30 2017 : 11:06:23 AM Please, update, Jean! Perhaps it would be interesting to keep the camera and the lens as they are: it is a relatively rare kit. But it is only my opinion.
Amitiés. Jacques.

Posted - Oct 30 2017 : 06:17:09 AM Thank you Jacques. I thought collapsible maco lenses were made before WWII. As I can see I was wrong. In 90's I found 2 or 3 of them mounted to FEDs NKVD. They are not coated and with old scale so I thought they were produced for FED NKVD. Now I know more than 1 hour ago.

Posted - Oct 30 2017 : 04:41:20 AM The "rigid" macro lenses were made only before WW2. They can be used directly, with a long helicoid (but without coupling, of course).
These collapsible macro lenses were probably made in 1950 only. In fact, they are just normal lenses reengraved with a macro scale. Use with macro rings. For the moment, most of these macro lenses were found on early Fed 1f (s/n 23xxxx/25xxxx), so with an old diaphragm scale. The new one (f 3,5-4-5,6, etc) appeared just after.
Posted - Oct 30 2017 : 03:34:09 AM Yes it is macro lens. But as I can recognize by vulcanite the FED is post war camera while lens is made before WWII. I haven't heard macro Industar 10 was produced after war.
