Posted - Jun 19 2018 : 3:20:52 PM Hi Guido,
I also never heard about him and I have also ordered this book. I have read a lot of different information about these cameras, also original russian books and investigations and I not really hope to find any new information, but I like to be surprised .

Do you know the collector personally? Is he member on UssrPhoto.com? Never heard of him. I saw only four pages of his book and had some questions about. The connection from TSVVS with FED is probably unlikely. Very unlikely.
I ordered the book some days ago when lindemanns.de made a advertising for and I will take a deeper look at it as soon it will arrive. I documentent the Zorki history years ago (in german) on my homepage (http://www.g-st.ch/privat/kameras/zorki.html) and I'm happy to read any new version of this history. Also the known FED history I'm working on and it will be intersting too to see the differences.
