We all cherish and value first run production cameras. But what about camera from last bunch? Like Moskva-2 from 1956 or may be Zenit EM from 1988? Does anyone looking for last numbers?

Well, I have always been interested in getting a FED-1 with the highest serial number made, but I don't know actually how high they really went! So, I would ask anyone ... what was the serial number of the last FED-1? or ... What is the highest any one has seen or has in their collection?

Regards, Bill

Princelle and Claudio Asquini both say the last serial number is about 800,000. I have seen them with 760,xxx, but never in the 800,000s.

Thanks Bill!

Hello,
Never seen more than 715xxx for 1g.
As for the Zorki 1, Fricke gives 56042413 (made in 1956) as the highest recorded number after the two changes in serial numbering method.

Amitiés. Jacques.
