Hello!
Anyone ever seen a prewar FED 100mm viewfinder for sale?
What's the chance of getting one (in working condition) and for how much?
Best regards,
Christian |

Hello!
I have seen many lenses without the viewfinder.
So I think, it is impossible to get one.
I have also one missing!!! |

Sports finder are still more difficult to find!
As for the 100mm optical finder, I have seen it from time to time on eBay, but it's scarce. And almost impossible to buy without the lens...
Some (rare) are numbered, not the others. I still wonder why... Perhaps the non numbered were made (and sold) separately? Another question: it seems there are much more 100mm lenses than 100mm finders ?
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Thank you for your replies!
It's true, the 100mm lens is quite easy to find compared to the viewfinder. I guess it was indeed sold seperately as stated by okynek.
I have found an offer for a FED 100mm 6.3 lens and viewfinder combined but they look different and may be something completely else. I'll investigate this further...
Regards,
Christian |

| Well I was rummaging around and found two FED 1:6,3 F=100 m/m lenses (forgot about the second lens) in addition to the FED marked 100mm finder and pigskin pouch - told you I haven't actively collected for a while. Anyhow, I will try post photos sometime today. |

Thanks, looks like it's part of some sort of machine gun aerial camera, however the ones I know look different.
This raises the question how the viewfinder fits in there, I highly doubt it was originally part of the system.
Unfortunately the store owner doesn't seem to be interested in answering to emails...

| It is an original S-13 lens, I have the same one on my S-13 Photomachinegun, the viewfinder seems to be completely unrelated piece, no idea why it's bundled like that... |

I was interested in that lens. The seller had answered that it was a Fed lens without other explanation.
Of course, it is totally impossible.
The finder is nice, but it cannot fit that lens.
Amitiés. Jacques.
PS: I own three 6,3/100mm and lack two finder... |

Exactly!
A viewfinder makes no sense with this type of camera built into a plane.
I guess since there is a FED 100mm viewfinder and a FED 100mm 6.3 lens whereas there is almost no information about the S-13, that was enough to bundle the two.

Christian |

I'm sorry for confusing expression.
I mean that viewfinder is original to FED and to FED 100mm lens, not to camera S-13 or to lens shown on the Web side.
Seller should offer this items separately, IMHO separately these items would sell faster and possibly get more money to seller. |
