Ni hao and welcome!
Posting parcels from China is not a problem, registered air mail is very fast and secure! I think sending money can be more problem if you don't have Paypal.

[:D]Thanks for your regards.
Maybe someday I'll try these. I also think posting parcels between diffrent country is required in the near future. Because I am aware that finding foreign cameras just at home is difficult~[:(]

Welcome USSRBJ!!
Great to a have a second Chinese member! Yes many of us are very interested in Chinese cameras since a lot of their are either clones and have roots in Soviet ones. So it's only logical some keep Chinese cameras as extension of their Soviet collection, thus the section in the catalog for these! Looking forward for you participation! I envy your FED-Zorki, I still have not found one for myself, and I call myself a collector, eh? [;)]... It is next on my list, I just can't pay the prices people are asking for them today - $800-$1000US!! [:)].
Vlad.

Congrats!! I hope you paid a reasonable price for it. [:)].
Is this common to have Industar-22 AND Moskva on the lens like that? I've only seen one or the other... or the 1948 FED-Zorkis all have this kind of lenses...
