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! |

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.

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?
Amitiés. |

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 !! |

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

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. Regards |

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.

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.

On this camera, a round tip of rangefinder, and a curious cutting of the release spring... All "a la Leica".
http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent2/1122024_IMG_1819.JPG
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.

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.
