Thanks, Vlad. |

The quality is typical... But with 1/1000 speed you have a rare specimen!
Best regards, Juhani |

Hi Juhani,
The Albar-15 is certainly a fairy rare camera, but the entries (only 4) in the Wiki catalog suggest that the version with a top speed of 1/1000 may be the more common. I have seen very few with a top speed of 1/500 and I have never seen one with the shutter speed range of 1 sec to 1/1000, so perhaps that is the rarest version. If there are any other Albar-15 owners out there, please add your cameras to the Wiki Catalog.
David. |

Must do some homework, but I have seen three with 1/500 and one with 1/1000 and also one with a different shutter speed engraving type: speeds "along" circle and not "through". I do have a picture at home to upload!
The different dial picture now uploaded, and added speed info to mine. Next weekend I will get one more serial number.
Best regards, Juhani |

Hi Juhani! Great GOMZ-Sport! Congratulation! I have just one question about. I have two early Sports with six screws on the top plate and both of them have a serial number engraved inside the camera (363 and 882 as you see on pictures). Does your camera has one as well?
 GOMZ-Sport s/n 363
 GOMZ-Sport s/n 882

Thank you! I did notice your pair, and I have wanted one for years, so when I finally found this I just had to have it. Yes, 587 or 597. The stamp is so poor that I need more than my eyes to be sure which.
Best regards, Juhani |

My newest find, a Leningrad Stereoskop in original box with slides and stereo pictures. The colors of the slides have gone over the years, but it's a nice find at all.

Hi Ulrich,
Really funny. When young (at 10-12 years or so, so in 1955 or about), I was offered exactly the same stereoscope, but written in latin caracters. A very good product, with a regulation by the black central wheel (which was red on my model). Unhappily, it disappeared, I don't remember where or when...
So, is yours a copy? Do you have a date for it?
Amitiés. Jacques. PS: congratulations for all these "Sport", Juhani and Alexander. When I have finished with my Contaxes, I will hunt one... |

Jacques,
there were some papers in the box. One instruction sheet that shows the date 9/11/62 printed on it and one piece of paper that seemed to be around the big slides, this one is stamped 1969.
So maybe the Stereoskop itself was made in or after 1962 and the slides were bought by somebody in 1969?

Interesting! Here is the stereoscope Bruguière I had when a child (taken on eBay). Not much differences compared to the Leningrad's...

So, the Leningrad could be a copy?

Two very nice lenses appeared today in my collection:
 Jupiter-6 und Helios-40
I have just updated the catalog and added some more interesting lenses.

Jacek, the 312m and the 412 cameras although fairly new Zenits seems to be rather uncommon now, congratulations. Zenit-18 is also a very nice acquisition! I don't see those much as well.

We have a "Sport-Invasion" here :-) Today mine arrived. It's a later one (btw: serial on lens is the serial of the camera?) number 12675. It looks good and works on all speeds and the finder is clear and bright.
I have one question to the lens. If you take off the lens and take a look from behind on it there is a lever with a small spring. Unfortunalety this spring is gone off on my lens and I don't know how to reinstall ist. Can anybody post or mail me a picture of this part of the lens?
So it looks as it comes out of the packet :-)

By the way...
I like the "Sport". After examinig and cleaning it it is just a lovely piece of handcraft. A lot of things look handmade. And it is so small even it has the big house on the top :-)
Ulrich PS: Any ideas how to reinstall the spring that fixes(?) the lens?

Right, Luis. I was too astonished by the similarities between the fronts of the Contax I and the Sport...
As for me, my "just arrived" will be a Zorki 1a I was looking for since a while. When it is here! Thanks to Alex K....

A Fed KMZ, what a good idea! Why not too a Fed b (the S with slow speeds) and a Kiev 1947? A Fed NKAP, it would be too easy!

You are right, Jacques. With FED-NKAP it was really too easy 

But I have got a wonderful FED 100mm lens with (very rare to find) genuine FED viewfinder:

Martti, you are right, of coure . I have quick put it on to take the picture. By the way, very interesting case for the viewfinder. I have seen (and also own) only the leather one.

Hello Jacek!
Bravo pour ce très beau Zenit 6, peu commun, avec son Rubin. Du solide et du lourd! Amitiés. Jacques.
(Congrats for this very fine Zenit 6, heavy, well made and not so common. And for the enormous Rubin!) |

A very fine 1a, Juhani! The metallurgy of the viewfinder is almost "handmade", to compare with my # 5330 which looks more "factory made". Some improvement between the two...
Amitiés. Jacques.

For the Moment, is the serial number only the serial number of the lens? Or does the body has also a serial number, and where I can find it please?
