I have just bought one of these 0xxx lenses (in fact, the #0582), to compare with other Industar 10, when it is here...

If I compare a 1f-2nd series and an "anniversary", the logo and the factory are strictly at the same place.

So, the easiest way to fake an "anniversary" is to use a 1f, second series (with number, logo, and factory on cover), to erase the number, replace it by the red inscription, and add a correct serial number on the back of the cover.

Probably Fed used non-numbered 1f-second series covers to make the "anniversaries"...

Guido, hehe. I think I know the guy you have bought your first russian camera from [:D]

My worst purchase was a Contax II. The pictures of the auction were blurry and small and it was sold as "not tested". It arrives a totally broken cameras which looks as if it has been under water since years... Rusty screws, viewfinder full of dirt, winding knob does not work. I believed that the seller has not tested it, because it couldn't be tested. I opened the camera, maybe there might be some useful parts, but everthing was broken. So I throwed the whole camera in the dust bin.

Another bad purchase was a Zorki 1 which smells terrible moldy. I unscrewed the lens and inside the camera where a lot of very small psocids running around... I also throwed it away.

Thank you very much for sharing your amazing work and for the pictures, they are very very helpful!. This is my first post, just found this place while seeking for information about moskva cameras.I have restored a Moskva 5 bought "for parts", but I have not been able to remove the backslash in the rangefinder gears train. This is not a serious issue because if you move the focus from near to far the focus is accurate, not so from far to near.
It would be nice however to have no backslash (play) in the mechanism. I don't quite understand your explanation about the spring loaded gears. I have noticed the spring in the rangefinder, but in my camera it does no effect in removing the play. Any clues about that?. Thank you again

EDIT: OK I think the spring is there to remove the backslash in the movement of the two prisms, but not from the focus ring to the prisms]]> Jacques M.@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=813&REPLY_ID=21091 Collectors and Users Open Forum Sat, 29 May 2021 04:55:16 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=813 Quote:
Hello,

I dig out this thread, years after...[:)]
At that time, I had no numerics to try this lens. I have just tested it on my Sony , and here is the result:

(opened at f/9)

I am really surprised and I wonder if this lens was made for a special purpose...

when you dismantle the body you will see that the inner exit prism window is much smaller then the outside camera frame.
I image how beautiful would be the rotating wheel made in a transparent green disc emoldurating the original camera field.
observe that this idea came in 1936 just after the first Contax II launch at least 19 years before the automatic frame finder limits of Leica M3 which was too much complicated.

Hi, take a look at [Link removed based on copyright claim by Maizenberg estate] he has scanned in Maizenbergs book on repairing Russian cameras. I'd download it if I was you as I wonder about Copyright issues!
Be careful - its easy to turn a CLA into a major rebuild job...
