Hi Aidas,
I may have a Komsomolets manual at home but I'm not sure. I'm in Azerbaijan at the moment, but will be home in two weeks time and will have a look. If I have one I will send it to you. In fact I have manuals for many cameras and they will be free to any forum members who would like them.
As you know I sold some items on eBay a couple of weeks ago, but I was a little ill at the time and only listed around one third of what I had intended to list. So when I have the opportunity I will list some more.
There are also many items which I am reserving for forum members only, I will not list any of these on eBay, they will be exclusive to forum members. There are many cameras and lenses, but I will make a list when I am home and pass it to Vlad, (assuming he has no objection). In principle what I have available is about forty Fed-1 cameras, these are mainly 1c, 1d, and later, but there are a couple of 1b's and a 1a among them. I also have more than forty Zorki-1 cameras from early to late, these have been in boxes for the past ten years and I never made a note of their serial numbers, so I don't really know what marks I have. There are of course many other cameras such as around ten Fed-2's from early, (no synch) to late (lever wind). I also have quite a few Kiev, II, III, and IV, perhaps forty or so kiev-Vega,Vega-2,Kiev-30, Zorki-2, Zenith-5, Fed-S, etc, etc, but I will need to check and list them all.
I haven't been very active on the forum recently, but this has been due to circumstances and not lack of interest. In fact I am as interested as ever, and will continue collectimg USSR photo equipment, but I am now forced to seriously reduce my collection to only those cameras which I have space to display. When I think about it this is probably a good thing because most of my cameras were just stored in boxes in the roof space of my house, which is a waste. In addition I have a lot of cameras which are duplicated several times over, and it would be selfish of me not to let others have them.
So I will be keeping a much slimmed down collection from what I previously had.
There are also a lot of sundrie items which I will be happy to let forum members have at no cost. These are items such as early filters, film cassettes, old film, literature, etc, etc.
Anyway, I will make a list a couple of weeks from now.
Best wishes, Jim[:)][:)][:)]

Jim,
Will be happy to post it here in for sale section for members.. if there is any MEMBERS ONLY stuff that you would like only members to see, I can make a protected thread in the forum where that list is going to be published. It will only be viewable if you are registered and logged in to the site..
Thanks!
Vlad.

Hi Jim,
Thank you! Our friend Alex Komarov (www.fotoua.com) was very kind to send me a scanned copy of Komsomolets manual already, though I would be very happy to buy an authentic manual (as well as many more manuals) by myself [:)].
Best Regards,
Aidas
