Niko80	Posted - Nov 04 2011 : 5:40:57 PM 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

PremOutshine	Posted - Mar 06 2013 : 06:28:28 AM The links of images above ain't working.. (just for the information) As far my knowledge, it's kinda tough to find one. Thank you.
nightphoto	Posted - Nov 14 2011 : 10:55:17 PM I have listed, for sale on Ebay, the rare FED Sports Finder. Expensive, but maybe we will see if it sells and, if so, for what amount! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170729433901 Regards, Bill
okynek	Posted - Nov 14 2011 : 09:49:51 AM quote: The viewfinder seem to be original. 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.
Vlad	Posted - Nov 12 2011 : 1:51:27 PM I do have a FED 100mm F6.3 lens for sale if anyone is interested please contact me. Thanks, Vlad.
Niko80	Posted - Nov 10 2011 : 04:35:52 AM 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. Regards, Christian
Jacques M.	Posted - Nov 10 2011 : 02:18:10 AM 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. Amiti�s. Jacques. PS: I own three 6,3/100mm and lack two finder...
Vlad	Posted - Nov 09 2011 : 7:29:15 PM 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...
Niko80	Posted - Nov 09 2011 : 6:31:52 PM 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... Regards, Christian
outfitter	Posted - Nov 09 2011 : 5:48:38 PM original FED but not original S-13 I assume?
okynek	Posted - Nov 09 2011 : 5:33:36 PM This lens is from camera S-13 mounted on MIG fighters, see: http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=17&ParentID=1&ContentID=228&Item=S%2D13+Photo+Machine+Gun+Camera+Czech+Export The viewfinder seem to be original.
Niko80	Posted - Nov 09 2011 : 11:08:23 AM Thank you, very nice photos! However we still have no idea what a viewfinder might be worth. Does anyone have an idea? I have come across some strange "Russian Airforce" FED 100mm 6.3 lens and viewfinder, however it clearly does't fit standard FED cameras. Have you seen something like this before? http://www.fotokor.com/engl/d_0582_100mm_1_6_3_FED_fur_russische_Luftwaffe_EXTREM_RAR1465.htm Regards, Christian
outfitter	Posted - Nov 08 2011 : 2:04:25 PM Sorry Christian I had emailed them to you directly. Here are two quick photos: http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx35/strangeisjane/fedgroup.jpg http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx35/strangeisjane/fedfinder.jpg I do have a lot of pre-war FED "stuff" that I haven't added to for over 10 years.
Niko80	Posted - Nov 08 2011 : 1:57:12 PM Dear Michael, photos would be very much appreciated!
outfitter	Posted - Nov 06 2011 : 07:49:58 AM 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.
Niko80	Posted - Nov 05 2011 : 5:46:39 PM 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
Jacques M.	Posted - Nov 05 2011 : 08:23:05 AM 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 ? Amiti�s. Jacques.
okynek	Posted - Nov 04 2011 : 11:18:51 PM Non optical viewfinders like this: http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=31&ParentID=3&ContentID=659&Item=FED+Sports+Finder was available before WWII for Fed. They are hard to find now-days. Optical viewfinders was expensive and considered to be over the top for amateurs photographers at that time.
outfitter	Posted - Nov 04 2011 : 5:55:58 PM I have one with its leather case. Haven't thought of selling but I haven't added to my collection in years so if you find out what its worth you can make me an offer if you wish
fotomuda	Posted - Nov 04 2011 : 5:53:42 PM Hello! I have seen many lenses without the viewfinder. So I think, it is impossible to get one. I have also one missing!!!
