Hello,
I have just added what I know in the Wiki about the 4,5/28, 3,5/50 rigid macro and 6,3/100 tele lenses. And the fake 2/50 Summar too.
Of course, if you have other serial numbers...

Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,
I bought the white FED-Summar that was recently on Ebay and so I added my name and corrected the serial number that was hard to read from the photos.
I have an unnumbered and very rare prototype of the FED Macro, the kind that is pictured in Princelle (page 108, middle row, 2nd from left, which says "Moscow Polytechnic Museum) which I will take photos of and add to the WIKI very soon.



Regards, Bill

Thanks, Vlad.
Happy to know you bought this lens, Bill. The first time I saw it, it was an "unknown leica lens, perhaps prototype" the seller said. I've had to inform him...

I prepare lists about Fed accessories, surely you will have it in some days. Not very easy...

Amitiés. Jacques.

Hello everyone,
I have been watching these topics with great interest and can't wait to contribute a little more information especially regarding Fed lenses, accessories, and their serial numbers. Unfortunately I am in Azerbaijan at the moment and my collection is out of reach at my home in England.
My collection includes a couple of 100mm/f6,3 lenses, a 28mm/f4,5, and if I remember correctly a macro lens. I also have the Fed exposure meter, and mechanical self timer, which a beautiful little thing.
When I return home at the end of this month I will catalog these items and submit the serial numbers, including those from my Fed 1 cameras, some of which are early Fed 1A's.
By the way I have a universal finder with only three turrets. This finder is unpainted and is marked TSVVS, does anyone have any information about this finder?

Cheers Jim.
