Bull Halsey	Posted - Jan 15 2009 : 12:56:49 PM Jacques, Thank you for sharing your FED/Leica copy with us. It is a beautiful example. You generally don't see many copies with the FED 50mm F.2 lens which has been re-engraved with the Leitz Summar badge. I also find the provonance of your camera quite interesting. A wonderful find. Regards, Steve

nightphoto	Posted - Jan 16 2009 : 9:33:37 PM Hi Jacques, Yes, thanks for showing us this nice camera. Yes I have the lens only, but your camera with the lens is a wonderful. I have a feeling that they both go together and that the Leica fake is a very old one. I think this because the engraving is so very fine in quality, from what I can see of the photos. The Leica fake from FED-S sound good and I believe that no new FED-S are made into Leica fakes, so it must probably be old. It will be interesting to see. Thank you Jacques! Regards, Bill
Jacques M.	Posted - Jan 16 2009 : 10:26:22 AM Thanks, Steve. For those who don't know what we speak of: http://www.ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=77&ParentID=1&ContentID=1121&Item=Fed%2DLeica+%28from+a+1d+or+1e%29%2E I must say that Bill has another Summar fake, made from a 2/50mm Fed lens, but with a white front. It's too in the wiki. I have just bought what should be a Leica fake from a Fed S (1/1000th of a second). I'll tell more when I receive it . Amiti�s. Jacques.
