My newest find, a like new FED 1b with low serial number (11367). It has very fine and shiny chrome and a much finer vulcanite. It seems to be PE0185 as described on Aidas' site. I had to disasssemble it because of hard curtains, and under a lot of dirt and grind I have found this beauty:

Hello Jacques,
very nice camera, congratulation! What do you mean with "40 items only"? Where did you find this wrong information?


Regards, Alexander

Hi Alexander,
I found an allusion on this legend on Sovietcam.com. False, of course. About that question, it could be interesting to complete a bit the s/n we have in the wiki: are there "ordinary" non-Ukrainian Kiev III inside the range?
Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,

I had an Ukrainian Kiev IIIa with serial number 5828601 and a normal Kiev IIIa with serial number 5828053. So really close together.

And, if the number of about 40 KIIV IIIa is wrong, what do you think how much of them were made? I have no idea.

Added in the wiki. Thanks, Ulrich.
I will have a look to find other ones, if possible.
No idea about the real number of the "Ukrainian" Kiev IIIa...
Amitiés. Jacques.
PS: your early Feb 1b is absolutely beautiful!

Jacques,

thanks, yes, the FED is now one of the beautifuls I own.

Here is another like-new camera, a Zorki 2. It works perfectly and after a CLA it is quiet as a Leica. It comes with the original Zorki 2 leather case, spool and film cassette.

I like the Zorki 2 more than the Zorki, because of the selftimer and that you can change the speeds even it is not cocked.

The engraved versions seem to be more rare than the one with the logo stamped in. But I have not seen a rule when they were engraved and when they were stamped. That seems to be mixed over the few years they were built.

Nice camera indeed, Jacques.

Mine's nr. 5834666, with matching Jupiter-8 nr. 5841216, as already reported elsewhere in this webpage already.

All the best,

Enzo

Rather rare, but the 40 items only are a legend!
Very happy with this symbolic camera.

Thanks, Enzo.

A Zorki 1 "black nylon" arrived some days ago. Not so common, I think.
The camera was equipped with an Industar 26M, certainly not original. But this one is interesting: it's a very early one with big ciphers.

And this morning, it was a "no name" Kiev, from 1963.
It came without lens, but I have had a correct Sonnar for a long time...

Received today the Fed 1b s/n 10767, with a very early "flush" RF window. The s/n 10607 still has a notched one.

Some time ago I was told about a full set of a splendid mint Kiev 15 set which was going to be sold.
I went to the seller address which is not fr from my home and found his mother, who was going to sell the Russian camera collection from her son who was yet transfered to live in Spain due his employement.
I was not prepared to see ou feel his really exquisite collection full of unique articles. I was really surprised.
His name is Gilberto and i was immediatly touched by his own taste and skills.
Soon after I was introduced to the Kiev 15 outfit his mother showed me an extention bellows which I could not identify its bayonet. Of course primary made for 6x6 cameras and magistrally completely hand made.
I found it a so strange and spectacular collection that I prepared a set of photos which I will gradually share it in this fórum. Mr Gilberto, Who I cound not get in touch has high skills and a modest profile which is very uncommon nowadays.
There were several kits, once his collection is primary focused in complete camera sets and not specially cameras alone. I bought all the available items and Will show each one to our members.
Our first demonstratios is a specially prepaired Zorki S (Note in the choosen bag letters Z-Y as analogy or coincidence ?) and home made lenses “Gilbert 1” on hand made lens case.
This kit was particularly choosen because undoubtably FEDs and Zorkis directly descendants of Leicas (first shape generation) are the most attractive cameras and evoke dreams from everyone.
A particular and different characteristic of his taste was his optical collection on microscopes but this runs out from our main focus.
There was a particular item which particularly touched me but I Will show in the next issue.

after an observation it could be seen that lenses and optical blocks were taken from Kodak Instamatic and Duaflex being respectively 40mm and 72mm F.L. lenses. both f15 needing no focus. The finder has no lens at all and is only a frame finder having similar shape of Prewar Contax Albda finder.

What a beautiful work! Thanks, Luiz.
The finder without lens is close to the sportsfinder too... Very clever and economical.
Have you tried the extra lenses, for example on a numerics?

Interesting, Fred.
The serial numbers of our two Feds are very close (10469 vs 10767) but yours has still a finder with "recess", mine is "flush".
About the s/n of the lens, the "good" one is on the reverse of the lens in infinite position (10439, if I read correctly).

Amitiés. Jacques.

Dear Jacques I have not tried the lenses which is a curiosity to test, But I have a circular Leica mat screen used in the Reprovit and both lenses are very crisp. Particularly used in the Zenit 3M viewfinder the telephoto (72mm) is astonishing crisp in close-ups !!

In this second chapter of my found I describe an outfit based in a FED 3 (knob advance) . This model with a more recent lens, included a first generation Kodak Retina close-up rangefinder with lenses NI NII NIII and the set Ri RII RIII ali in 32mm threaded mount . The extraordinary found was the Schneider Componon f4/50mm made for Durst enlargers known as extra crisp lenses magistrally mounted um a Leitz Summitar focusing mount . The Componon hss exactly the same filter Retina lens accessory thread being compatible to old Retina qaccessories, and Summitar focusing L39 cannon mount enables coupling to M39 FED/Zorki thread.
A set of R lenses doesn’t need finder and a leather belt with small spheres which is locked in the bottom camera’s tripod screw is used to
keep focus in each of the lenses. The set came together two tables
N and R series believed as original’s copies.

Followinf the included tables, I made a series of pictures showing “repro distances” , using the Four Ball, Three Ball , and One Ball distance guide showing three Matrioshkas of my wife’s ownership.
As Kodak’s rangefinder has incompatible shoe mounting in FED 3, a platform was made to turn the set feasable. - Everything very interesting.

Hi Luiz,
is there something special in this diary? Mashpriborintorg was an exporter of all soviet technik abroad, not only photo equipment.

Hello all and a happy new year to you!

2024 has started well for me as these have just arrived from Ukraine:

A newly serviced 1951 Zorki 1(b) and an Industar 22 in its original case.

The Zorky is in amazing condition with very little signs of wear. It appears to be one of the later ones in the 'b' series with a harder body shell. I can see no deformity. The Industar 22 fitted is also in great shape.

The cased Industar 22 looks brand new! I am waiting for a 'e' body from a UK dealer to fit this to.

Ian

In this third comment I put a kit also bought from the same fountain which was clearly home assembled. The wooden case and cover for the kit remains from old school Kiev kits.
This approach refers to a Kiev 3 A outfit that includes a Kiev body from 1956 and a normal Jupiter lens from 1959. A zippered bag replaces the original camera’s leather case. The outfit is encased in hand made wooden box with a simili leather zippered protection coat, having internal divisions for all items. It has a júpiter 12 from Lytkarino, a Jupiter 9 from Arsenal, and a Jupiter 11 from Kazan; includes an universal finder from Krasnogorsk. Together an yellow filter and a cable release.
Our artist included a own built a Black anodized sunshade for the normal lens and an extra fish eye metal viewfinder made in black anodized aluminum and a chrome shoe cleverly sporting a built-in peep hole 180º door viewer. The same rigid sunshade has an internal female thread of series VI size, which enables coupling a 0.45X conversion lens over the normal one. So, with lens is clicked at infinity one has a great depth of field with a 22.5 mm lens needing absolutely no need of focus once the minimum diaphragm of main lens must be f/8 for a good contrast and resolution.
To be continued...

Otherwise a very professional and/or expensive kit, but the Marucon really doesn't fit there, especially timewise.

hello Juhani
that is true but the inventiveness of the sunchade/lens adapter has its real merits, as wll as the the home made finder.

This fourth approach runs around a beautiful vintage adapted bottle bag:
That contains a Start and a Zenit Sporting some Professional and cleverly home made accessories. In order to show better this excelent kit I devided the article is segments for better appreciation.
First a Start body to which was built a fitted home made eveready case, a M39 transient ring and a vertical accessory finder which seems to have a a Zenit ocular of a later era.
The camera itself seems to have lost its original lens but Mr Gilberto magistrally adapted a Helios 44 M 6 from Valdai operating in complete auto mood and with a proper bayonet. It was also made a M39 old Zenit mount and an extra knob giving better shooting ergonomy when used with non automatic lenses. Also a conventional Zenit 3M with a tailored identical eveready case, but obviously smaller than the previous model. The camera came with its original black Helios 44 from Belomo. The kit includes two sets of specially made extension tubes (one in original Leica Standard and other in Praktica Standard lenghts) both cameras have a rethread 1/4” tripod lock. The accessory lenses included are a Mir 1 from Sergei Posad, a Jupiter 9 from Lytkarino and a Jupiter 11 from Kazan. It also included a modified 75mm Soligor enlarging lens All in M39 Zenit mount.
And finally something that really shocked me. - Some time ago I published at these USSRPhoto pages the article ‘Helios 44 outer limits” see http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=86&ParentID=4&ContentID=297&Item=Helios+44+Outer+Limits+%2D+by+Luiz+Paracampo
This developed system was adapted over the old white version of KMZ Helios 44. Beside the included Double kit of extension tubes it included a single element tele converter (à la Zeiss Distar -10.75D ), the corrector ring when the rear element is not used, a reverser ring for macro purposes, three extension rings M39 in the M42 standard ratios and a Start Bayonet coupler. The set included also a Soligor 75mm lens for macro prepaired to receive 49mm filtersm and a home made center spot soft filter 49mm à la Thambar.
Together, two 49 mm Center blinded spot filter and a single element 10.75D teleconverter were included.

A ball joint head of complete different concept and a two level portatile tripod were also built and included.

As it was previously seen, this magnificent outfit touched me in a impactant way, not only due the Helios lens specially adapted for the Start camera, but mainly because I saw that very near me, and in the same state I live, so0meone built the “Outer Limits” and got further without my knowledge, or pehaps consultation.
I spent some hours studying its artisanal construction and the real limits of its possibilities. Certainly Mr or Professor Gilberto saw it in our site and gave his own version and/or contribution, but strangely left it behind when was gone to Spain.
Apparently he left no appointments at all. So, moved by some internal proudness, I decided to make a show in order to demonstrate the large capabilities of my Project constructed by someone I could not immagine could be interested to undertake it ahead. Together a two level tripod and a large angle swivel head came in the outfit and everything made me happy.
I wait this could make you enjoy and appreciate a very particular kind of collectionist that exists abroad and we are not aware.
Regards to all.

Попал мне в коллекцию оригинальный сбор Zorki + редкий индустар 22 с документами. Многие интересовались, для чего изготавливали белые Индустар 22 жесткой конструкции. Вот и ответ. Это были опытные партии для выяснения спроса и отзывов на такие объективы.
Аппарат достался с сухими шторками. Шторки были заменены, механизмы почищены. Аппарат полностью рабочий.

Interesting information indeed! Thank you!

But I think it's time to lock this thread it's grown completely unwieldable and a lot of really good information gets lost. Please create new threads for new items in the forum instead.

Best regards,
Vlad

Hello,

Thanks to have reopened this thread, Vlad. Just for short information about cameras which don't deserve a discussion, I think.

One of my last purchase is an export Zenith (with an "h"), engraved "made in USSR on the back. Not so common.

No other changes compared to the other Zenit C of that period.

Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,

I also have such a “Zenith”, mine has the serial number 60014131, so quite close to yours :-)

Thanks, Ulrich. It seems that this engraving was specially made for the UK market.
Today, a Fed S "converted" into a Leica... Alas!

The nickel plating cover was not a success...

On this camera, a round tip of rangefinder, and a curious cutting of the release spring... All "a la Leica".

Note that 27/VI is scratched on the shutter box. That corresponds to the numbers 65/66xxx by my listings. So, a Fed 1c, confirmed by the position of the central screw, and by the s/n of the lens: 21888. All seems coherent.

Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,

your FED S looks strange, but interesting.

I also got a FED S, serial number 127630 with lens 28631. The camera was a tough nut to crack. The shutter straps were loose, the camera was incredibly stiff and the aperture blades in the lens were displaced. However, the shutter cloths themselves were in good condition.

I managed to fix it, the aperture blades were a real test of patience... However, I can't get the camera to move smoothly, apparently some parts don't fit together properly. That's probably why it still looks like new.

I forgot... The date scratched on the shutter housing inside ist 20/I

Hi Ulrich,

I have checked with my own cameras.
The s/n 119792 (1dS) has 27/I inside, the 127195 (1d) has 19/III, your 127630 (1dS) with 20/I, and 24/V (1d) for the 128213. All that is not very linear!.
Problems at the factory, a changing of shutter box, or else? We'll never know!

Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,

yes, you can speculate. Perhaps the FED S were not produced in a batch, but always on the side. And when enough were finished they were given tops with current numbers? Just an idea... but we will never know.

Ulrich
