Finally I found a choice of lenses. Nothing extraordinary, but here they are:
First row: Mir 20H s/n 860811 (converted to M42), Industar-69 no s/n (adapted to M39 FFD), Jupiter-12 s/n 9021676 (M39), Jupiter-8 s/n 6226854 (M39),
second row: Industar-26m s/n 1404203 (M39), Industar-61 L/D s/n 947005 (M39), Helios-44 s/n 0256726 (M39 Zenit),
last row: Jupiter-9 s/n 6102545 (M39 Zenit), Jupiter-11 s/n 7102274 (M39 Zenit). Missing on the photo: Orion-15 s/n 760592 (M39).
The Mir came with a custom made adapter M42 to M39. For both possibilities focus is spot-on. They are all standard versions, the Jupiter-9 is a bit strange, it has what seems to be a custom made distance scale, ∞, 30m, 10m ..., perhaps a repair. The 26m was a present from a friendly seller.

An interesting beginning of collection, Reinhard!
I fear I was not interested by lenses during years. I was wrong: it's the lens which takes the photo, not really the body!

Here is one of my last purchases: a Zorki 1a/1b. It has the release button of the 1b and still the speed dial of the Fed-Zorki.

I was looking for it for a long time, now it arrives, a KIEV Stereo set. It's like new, with original box, instruction manual, passport and the bill! Everything looks as if it was used only a few times. There are some stereo pictures that look as if the previous owner took them.
Really nice.









Together with it comes this very early Jupiter 11 with KIEV mount from 1951.



And there was more, a Zorki SK lens (2,0/50) from 1949 and a Jupiter 9 from 1955 made by KMZ with passport and bill (445 Rubels!). Two yellow filters (40,5 and 49mm) in bakelite box, I have never seen these boxes before.

Yes a nice stereo set. I was lucky to have that beam splitter as extra with a Kiev-4AM. The adapter was also from 1956 but it was for the Eur. 80,- with Kiev-4AM (refurbished) and J-8M included. Later I realised it was a rare item.

Just a picture:

I have the stereo set, but Inever tried it. Lazyness...
At home, a Contax S and a Zenit "Classic".
No doubt, the Zenit is more beautiful! It's an early one, with one screw only at the back of the cover and the s/n with bold ciphers. He has the ancient cap too.

A funny Nicca/Fed.
In fact, a "combo" early Nicca (for the cover, the arm of the rangefinder and the baseplate) and Fed 1f. All is from 1948/49, so the camera is coherent.

Thanks Luiz!
It seems that some early Nippons didn't have the slow speeds.
See: http://corsopolaris.net/supercameras/nicca/nicca.html

But mine is a Fed with Nicca parts, nothing else!

My friend Jacques
The only Nicca without slow speeds were made in the 1943-1946 period
probably not compatible with the FED body you have. Although the preiod could be superposing, politics in the era were not favourable (seems to be)

Perhaps you could introduce yourself and your collection in a new post?
Anyway, welcome here!

Jacques Thank you for the warm welcome.
I like Zorka.
My collection is not large.
When it comes to Zorka C is I only have three.
So there is nothing much to show. At least for the moment.

Thanks for your photos Robert,
those Festival cameras are special, the black ones (vulcanite and nylonette) got the Festival logo, but the green and grey ones did not. But we know at least from sovietcams.com that those green and grey ones were delivered with special Festival boxes, so they might indeed also be Festival cameras, at least most of them. Did you get boxes with your cameras too or other information, maybe passports?
I'm also interested to see the backside of the green and grey cameras, would be thankful if you could post those pictures too.

Thanks Luiz,
would have been interesting if Nicca copied a Fed. But through the connections to Germany because of the war they might got good information about Leicas, no need to copy a copy.
The only real copy of a Fed might be the Neuca which is comprehensible because they came from the soviet zone GDR.

Hi Lenny

I do not have those cameras boxes or documents or any additional information.
As requested I took pictures of the back.

I throw more pictures of other Zorki and the Fed.

Thank you so much Robert,

your grey nylonette is very clean. Often marks can be seen from the leather case, especially where the closing buttons of the case are. Never put them in a leather case again.

A lucky find.
A seller in Odessa wrote me that he has a lens that could interest me, for 300uah (around 10 euros).

Here is the lens at my friends home already.




Note the serial number, looks like someone made mistake

I'm usualy not in the FED lens collection, but that could be a good start .

All that makes me think that the (real) serial number could be around 26000.

Jacques,

I have just found this site and read this thread.
I think real number of your camera is 14xxx or 13xxx (less possible). It has characteristic vulcanite. Please look at surface of top plate (under cover of rangefinder)it is little bit different than in other FEDs. Remaining details (like advanced knob, shutter release, etc) fit 14xxx too. It cannot be seen clearly on pictures but speed dial should have bigger diameter like in older items of FED.
But I can say nothing about cover of rangefinder. Maybe real number of the camera is 14580 ?

Probably you are right, Alfa2. And welcome here!
I was too fast when looking at this Fed (I have it in front of me now).
By the width of engraving, no doubt it belongs to a 1b series around the s/n 2xxxx. But the diameter of the speed dial is an earlier one. And the vulcanite can be seen on the 13/16xxx 1b-s, whereas the profile of the release button (much curved) could be even older.
All in all, it cannot be a 13/16xxx because of the width of engraving. Rather a camera made by the factory using spare parts after repair, from several other ones.

But the discussion remains open (in a separate thread if necessary). Thanks!

Amitiés. Jacques.

Thanks for your welcome.
You are absolutely right but let me tell/write my theory, which may be not true of course.
There were many poor people in 90's in area of past-USSR who wanted to earn some money. It was usual that servicemen were buying russian cameras on their market and than they were selling them abroad. But they were buying everything even not complete cameras and than combining them to working models which could be sold.
Sometimes there was problem with e.g cameras which were combined from FED in about 50% and Zorki in about 50%. Was it FED or Zorki ? For sure it was not FED-Zorki .
My theory is your camera is FED 13/16xxx but plate with engravings (cover of rangefinder) is from another camera.

As you wrote discussion was still open. (If moderator decide so it could be new thread.)
It is really plasure to talk/write to you about old cameras.
Thank you.

Hello!
I was very happy to found this resource some time ago. Today I want to show FED device for reproduction, that just arrived in my collection

http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/2922016_FED_0081.JPG


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/2922016_FED_0080.JPG

As it comes from Bunimovich book, the device could be purchased as an accessory to FED U-0 enlarger

Pages from 89 to 99 are dedicated to reproduction photography.

In 1933, the FED has not yet been issued, its accessories were produced in 1937. So write Bunimovich in 1933 there was still nothing!

Sorry, but this book is from 1938 and not from 1933!

Alexander, Jacques, Alexey...
As far as i understand, there are two types of the book - some books have 1933 on the first page, some have 1938. The interesting moment is that all of them got 1937 or 1938 on the last page. So, in fact all of the books were physically produced in 1937-1938, but a few of them got 1933 on the first page. I suppose this is just a massive misprint.
Some photos:

Hi Aleksandrov!

Certainly Alexander and Alexey are right.
It should be a misprint, and the last page gives the good date.
As if misengravings, on some Fed covers, were not enough....

Amitiés. Jacques.

although I do not collect russian cameras (only some russian lenses), I came across a very nice one some days ago and finally I could not resist. it just arrived.


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_01_IMG_1875.JPG
it came with an old zorki box and the kind seller added a copy of a zorki manual.


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_02_IMG_1886.JPG
it has its leather case


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_03_IMG_1896.JPG
and its original lens.


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_04_IMG_1891.JPG
serial no. 128213, which makes it 1939 according to what I have found.


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_05_IMG_1892.JPG
it seems as if everything is working fine. maybe it has not been used much.


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_06_IMG_1901.JPG
I will try to load a roll next week and test it.


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_07_IMG_1904.JPG
lens no. 125489.


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/542016_fed_1d_08_IMG_1907.JPG
there was a document folded into the leather case. according to the seller it says that the camera was sold in 1942 in a moscow commission shop for 850 roubels. it seems as if it has not worked much since then. anyway, it wasn't expensive and I look forward to try it out.

Congrats, Reinhart, and thanks for the passport, always very useful for these cameras.
But I read 1949 for the date, no? It should be amazing for a Fed NKVD (probably) made in 1940

hi jacques,

I think it's 42. there is a "9" above and several "2"s in the receipt. I attach a bigger image.

The line above the date means the lens?

That would be quite strange to have the lens before the date with the first 2 digits missing and then after the date the body with complete serial.

However, congratulations, very nice Fed.

Everyone started with the first camera, hahaha, enjoy collecting.

that's a funny coincidence indeed, I had not seen it. but I can't read russian, so I do not know what the paper really says...

Yes, Lenny, this passport is a bit strange for a prewar Fed.
It's the first time I see a price, and thsre is no address of factory, for example.
Would it be a bill rather than a passport?

Anyway, it would be useful to have a translation of this paper. If somebody could... Thanks!

From this passport i can see the camera was bought in Moskow in 1942 in Московское управление торговли культтоварами.
There are signs of inspector and of consignor. The paper is rather something like good issue from shop.
Such goods as FED was not on free market. There was no free market in USSR and distribution of such important goods like FEDs was controlled by state administration.

Maybe this is from a workshop. This lens was calibrated to the camera body. No other stamp was made on the lens, so you keep this receipt to document that calibration was made.
To me, it was in 1940, the year when this body should be produced. Maybe a replacement for a faulty body. Who knows, translation is needed.
This would explain why only the last 4 digits of the lens were written on the receipt. If this camera/lens combination would be original and new, the lens should have a much higher serial number. Could be, this is the lens the previous owner bought new and after his new camera body got faulty he got a replacement camera body calibrated to his old lens.

I could read almost all words. I cannot read the first word covered by ink. Second word coverd by ink is подробное which means "detailed".
In title is written that this is receipt from special shop number 18 which is placed in Moscow in Московское управление торговли культтоварами. I can see number of camera but I don't see last 3 digits of the lens here.
There is signature of director of the shop too below signatures of inspector and of consignor. There is a price given in digits and in words.
Below there is empty fields to put new price and signs.

the seller, who is a russian from moscow, told me that this is a receipt from a commission shop (which is a second hand shop). they were quite common in russia and they still are. in those days it was mandatory to make any second hand sale via a commission shop.

So, it was sold in 1942 as a second hand camera.
The lens can have been changed, of course, as Lenny says: we don't have the original passport. But it can be original too: the lens has often a higher s/n than the body, but not always.

Great so it is solved.
I had problems with word комиссионный. It could come from second hand shop or from committee.
But I still don't undestand line with year 1942 and with the first word covered by ink.

I caught this early Lieningrad yesterday at a local camera fair for its viewfinder.My other two 61xxxx and 63xxxx Lieningrad cameras all have a broken viewfnder that is not possible to repair. This one seems to have a viewfinder that has a solid metal base. I guess this 001848 Lieningrad was made in 1958? It is still in excellent cosmetic condition.Here are some images of the camera and comparison of details with my 1961 one.

Cheers,

Zhang

Some more details images of 001848 and a 61xxxx Lieningrad. Winding and rewind nobs are not exactly the same.
BTW, this defective lieningrad cost about the same as a Nikon F3 and 4x as a Pentax SP at the same market.:) But a vintage Chinese movie lens 20/1.4 in Arriflex standard mount for 35mm camera cost five times as much as a Nikon F3!

I couldn't wait to open it to see if I bought a camera with a good viewfinder. If not, my money was wasted. Here it is. A good viewfinder and a parts camera. But I think with a new cloth coutain, I could bring it back to a functioning camera.
The metal base of my 63xxxx camera is full of cracks, but the 001848 one looks much better. I also found that the film pressure plate of the early camera is different although they could be made of the same material (glass?).
Perhaps I sould have posted the messages in a camera repair section?

Two of my Leicas, a 1930 I(A)with a close focus lens, and a 1932 I(E) standard.
Yes, I am OT. But after all, these cameras are the grand-parents of our Fed 1a-s!

Jacques, they really look nice :-)

Some of my new findings:

A Horizont with red label and some differences to normal ones.

First, the digits on the frame counter are bigger:



Second, there is a fixing screw for the viewfinder:



At least it comes with both filters and bakelite grip:



----------------------

Next is an I-50 enlarger lens, looks nice:



----------------------

And this fine Zorki Stereo Set with enlarger mask, viewer and box:

Nice stereo set, Ulrich! Mine is not complete: I miss the mask.
Here, another Fed. An early 1a, the # 1453 in fact, with a correct "1 turn" lens.
Compared to my other later 1a-s, this one has a different vulcanite and an assembling a bit uneven. That "smells the beginning". Happy to get it!

Arrived a few weeks ago just before my holidays. A direct parcel from Ukraine with:
An Universal VF for a client.
A J-9 for Kiev/Contax 1961 for US$ 25.
A J-12 for Kiev/Contax 1984 for free.

Together with my Kiev-4AM and the J-8M a good combination. A VF-1 I have already so a good combi with that Jupiter-12 F/2,8-35mm lens.

I will develop the first film with these new optics, a Bergger BRF400 plus (OrWo Filmotec N74+ ) in Pyrocat-HDC soon.

One of the very rare Jena Contax with the double numbering: Jena and Kiev. Thanks, Alexey! And hats off!
A very interesting detail: the accessory shoe is on the Dresden side: rounded and not square, like on Jena ones. But others share this same feature.

It's curious that 1948 BK lenses don't have a Zeiss number at the rear... I have 1951/52 Jup 12 which have this number. Perhaps because they are LTM??

It is on the Jena side, like the early s/n 47058 on Sasaki's book.
But impossible to find this book. If you have one which is read, or if you can lend me yours.... Thanks if you can share.

Amitiés. Jacques.
