Hello,

while drinking my morning coffee, I just found a "no name" 1964 Kiev on the auction site :


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/2332013_$T2eC16hHJGQE9noMcSRJBRTUs3uCB!~~60_12.JPG

It was described as a regular Kiev (no mention of a "no name" or of the Contax), and sold at the same price than other regular Kievs, so I'll bet it is real. The seller was Ukrainian. It will probably need a good cleaning, I also do not think it will work dependably but it is a nice cheap addition to my Contax lineup.

Some sources say 5000 - 6000 were produced, but they seem to came up regularly, no?

Just found:
a Zenit E with microphoto attachment Lomo MFN 12

Well, not exactly "just arrived", but stil quite nice:

My FED-S collection

FED-S/c No.69929 with engraving error ("X" missing)
Lens No.22495





FED-S/d No.2570 with "numbering error" (?)
Lens No.25237





FED-S/e No. 174119 (quite normal)
Lens No.32763




-------------------------------------------------------------

FED-S/c No.70883 from Aidas, the camera I use for photography
Lens No.22506






FED 28mm f/4.5 lens No.45964



FED 100mm f/6.3 lens No.34069 with finder (unnumbered)



100mm No.34069 + finder, 50mm macro No.13923 and 28mm No.45964 lenses



All my different prewar FED lenses and accessories:


Top row:
self-timer, leather case for light meter, yellow filters, right angle finder

Mid row:
leather case for 100mm f/6.3 lens, light meter, cardboard case for 28mm f/4.5 lens

Bottom row:
100mm f/6.3 lens with finder, 50mm f/3.5 macro lens, 28mm f/4.5 lens


Except for the light meter (the selenium cell died) all the accessories work fine. Lenses have been collimated for use with FED-S No.70883

I also have some "normal" (yet unusual) prewar FED1 cameras, will post them here as soon as I find the time!

Regards,
Christian

Waouh!
Don't tell me you bought all that at the same time!
I have a good collection of Fed 1, but it took 5 or 6 years to me.

I use normally a Fed S too. Now, a 16xxxxx 1d, previously a 67xxx 1c. I find my 1d perfect as a user: it has a marvelous rangefinder. But I changed the lenses by wartime Zeiss lenses...

Congratulation for your collection!

Jacques.

My very last find:


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/352013_Immagine 001.jpg

Foton N°1088


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/352013_Immagine 002.jpg

in fully working condition too.

Greetings
Francesco

Wow!

Best regards,
Juhani

No, not at the same time but within the last 3 years.
When I came to this forum all I wanted was a FED1 for photography since I inherited a non-working FED1c from my grandfather (more about that soon).
Now I have 8 cameras and all these accessories, I guess things got a little out of hand...

Regards,
Christian

(in the right thread this time!)
My Kazan logo lens which will not collapse no matter how I squish it :) I'm unclear-can these be used on old Zorkis, or Feds?

I was always under the impression that these lens are intended for use on an enlarger, but I could be wrong.

Cheers,
Mark

As far as I know enlarging work is what the lens is used for, but I seem to remember someone somewhere using it on a camera.
In any event,today my export Zorki arrived from Spoleto, Italy. This one gave me concern because it took so long and there are quite a few horror stories about the Italian postal service. However, all is well
I thought I might as well add my Zorki 3 and Zorki C. I was fortunate enough to find the Zorki 3 right here in the US.

Great find, Jimmy.
Actually Italy is a good market for FSU cameras. Furthermore, in these days prices are very good because of the crisis. I'm positive you'll find many other stuff in Italy.

Regards.
Francesco

Only is he's not in competition with me.
frendly
Vittorio

Thank you,Francesco. The price was quite reasonable.
I'm afraid Vittorio has the advantage over me in the Italian market
But I shouldn't complain. Sometimes I run across very good deals here in the US.

JimmyB

The export version has very uncommon lens - the rigid Industar-22, nice buy!

FOTON is a great find!!!
