Yeah! I got it yesterday!
Really beautiful! A masterpiece for a Fed collector!
Now, a roll inside to take some pictures.
Special thanks to Alain by whom I've had this camera...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Congradulations Jaques on your addition. Also while I was  here I very much enjoyed Ulrich's photo album, beautiful sharpness and textural shots. Don |

Thanks Vlad.
I feel better  but I don't know if I am an accomplished collector now!

I must add my sincere congratulations as well. Possessing such rare artifact truly makes you an accomplished collector of Russian cameras!

Thanks Ulrich and Jim.
That camera was a dream...
It seems that there are less TSVVS fakes now and genuine ones are easy to differentiate when in hands: better finish, heavier and brass body, two last numbers of the # engraved inside the body and the shoe, viewfinder...
I don't know if I will open another link with Contax and Kiev. For the moment, I'm going to complete my two main ones with Fed and Leica.
I got this TSVVS through Alain; I met him in the middle of nowhere and he had brought too some of his rarest cameras: Voomp, Fed-KMZ, Fed B, Fed 7 (!!!) and his own TSVVS of course. What an afternoon! Next time soon...
Amitiés. Jacques.

Wow, congrats! I am also looking for a TSVVS but they are harder to find than the early FED 1a without the shoe. And as I know a lot of TSVVS fakes do exist.

Jacques,
Congratulations, a wonderful addition to your collection. If you have the chance please post a photo.
To my way of thinking the TSVVS is the perfect marriage between your Fed collection and any Kiev/Contax that you may have. I Suppose in just the same way as the Fed-Zorki you recently aquired is the perfect link between Fed and KMZ.
Regards,
Jim. |
