Fed with Leicavit

I don't think it is original. Never seen this before:

Hi Milo,

See there:http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=76&ParentID=1&ContentID=1156&Item=FED%2DSport

We discussed about that a while ago, and probably from this camera. But as usual, I cannot open the link.

Amitiés. Jacques.

Hello Jacques,
your link is great, explains everything you need to know. Here in the wiki is #0035 and on ebay #0045. The lens is different. Strange this early KMZ logo without arrow.

This #0045 has 1/1000sec

No, Lenny, it's the link of eBay that I cannot open, due to strange regulations in France...
Thanks for the photos.
I own the 0044. It's with the 1/1000th and the 2/50mm lens too.

Although several surfaced câmeras are fakes, KMZ really used exceeding Kharkov FEDs previously used on Photosniper, to built some marvellous quick advance prototypes before build their own FEDs and FED/Zorkis. Important to know that the main screw in such devices are left hand threaded, and main axle differs from commom production FEDs and Zorkis.

the seller put an end to the auction, he says "there was an error in the listing" ;-)maybe someone payed quite a sum...

No, don't worry, this seller did the same many times before. Check the other auctions of this seller and you might find it again. It's not so funny that this seller does this so many times, I guess he is old and his eyes not good anymore.

However, the Fed Sport is not re listed any more. I hope he re-lists one of those pre war Fed lenses one day.

Some of his listings that did finish the auction, went away for quite low prices. Maybe he wants a reserve price or something.

I placed some bids on his auctions before, but not anymore. If this seller makes so many mistakes he might also send the parcel to the wrong address. I don't need this, even when some items are kind of seldom.
After deleting his correct auction for his Fed-Zorki #02898, he made a NEW mistake in the new listing, calling it #2324. Crazy.

I bought something from him recently... fingers crossed. He seems to have a feedback score of 100% over only 10 transactions.
