I recently got two Fed 1F body's without a lens. I already had an F type with a lens. I tried and measured out some things, and came to the following conclusions. Which might be already known.
-all the checked F models, with the serial numbers: 232966, 285221, and 285969 have the same lens pitch thread. Which is different from the Leitz one.
-their lens to film flange distances measured out 28,44 mm on the three camera's.
-there are no major differences in their design, engraving, finish or built quality. One needs a CLA and curtains, but the quality is very good.
What kind post war uncoated Fed lenses and accesories where produced to work with these models? Except the regular Fed 3,5/50 The 6,3/100 comes into mind, but I thought they where only produced before the war.
