Don,

this is a site of Luiz Paracampo - our fellow member. [:D]. You can say that novacon site along with www.nightphoto.com and www.sovietcams.com are the forefathers of USSRPhoto.com [:)]. In fact it was Luiz's idea to start a central repository for knowledge of Russian cameras..

Luiz,

The first time I fell on your site, two years ago now, I was astonished by the number of strange cameras I didn't know. For example the Fed Arsenal, original or not, which made me dream a long time...
So thanks for your site and its richness. And USSRphoto was a great idea!

Amitiés. Jacques.

Fed Arsenal is authentic according to Abramov of Photohistory.ru, but our companion Bill bought in e bay a "manufactured replica" which is in his site.

Hi Luiz,

I saw that you listed some microscope objectives on your site. I am interested in these in recent years, and I have assembled a small collection, most are Zeiss products but also some Russian items.

Cheers,

Zhang

Hello Zhang!
I copied down your post in Rangefinder forum acording to your proposal. I am now giving a new format organizing the comments for a full Chinese camera page. so await a bit more because the work is very painstaking.
Best Regards
