just arrived in my collection

I have this interesting little camera on its way to me:

Came to me not long time ago...
R-Helios-100-OS 100mm/2.5 KMZ

Used on FP-1, similar to Foton-OS , camera to make Oscilographe photo...

Finally I found a choice of lenses. Nothing extraordinary, but here they are:
First row: Mir 20H s/n 860811 (converted to M42), Industar-69 no s/n (adapted to M39 FFD), Jupiter-12 s/n 9021676 (M39), Jupiter-8 s/n 6226854 (M39),
second row: Industar-26m s/n 1404203 (M39), Industar-61 L/D s/n 947005 (M39), Helios-44 s/n 0256726 (M39 Zenit),
last row: Jupiter-9 s/n 6102545 (M39 Zenit), Jupiter-11 s/n 7102274 (M39 Zenit). Missing on the photo: Orion-15 s/n 760592 (M39).
The Mir came with a custom made adapter M42 to M39. For both possibilities focus is spot-on. They are all standard versions, the Jupiter-9 is a bit strange, it has what seems to be a custom made distance scale, ∞, 30m, 10m ..., perhaps a repair. The 26m was a present from a friendly seller.

That's a nice set to start lens collection

An interesting beginning of collection, Reinhard!
I fear I was not interested by lenses during years. I was wrong: it's the lens which takes the photo, not really the body!

Here is one of my last purchases: a Zorki 1a/1b. It has the release button of the 1b and still the speed dial of the Fed-Zorki.

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Finaly together again, but this time at my home
With boxes and passports (and filters, caps...)

Kiev 4A

[img] [/img]

I was looking for it for a long time, now it arrives, a KIEV Stereo set. It's like new, with original box, instruction manual, passport and the bill! Everything looks as if it was used only a few times. There are some stereo pictures that look as if the previous owner took them.
Really nice.









Together with it comes this very early Jupiter 11 with KIEV mount from 1951.



And there was more, a Zorki SK lens (2,0/50) from 1949 and a Jupiter 9 from 1955 made by KMZ with passport and bill (445 Rubels!). Two yellow filters (40,5 and 49mm) in bakelite box, I have never seen these boxes before.

Yes a nice stereo set. I was lucky to have that beam splitter as extra with a Kiev-4AM. The adapter was also from 1956 but it was for the Eur. 80,- with Kiev-4AM (refurbished) and J-8M included. Later I realised it was a rare item.

Just a picture:

I have the stereo set, but Inever tried it. Lazyness...
At home, a Contax S and a Zenit "Classic".
No doubt, the Zenit is more beautiful! It's an early one, with one screw only at the back of the cover and the s/n with bold ciphers. He has the ancient cap too.

They don't work: problems of shutters for both of them.

In the mean time testing in the Kodak 5222 Double-X film with this Kiev and stereo adapter. E.I. 100 and developed in Windisch W665 an ultra fine grain type developer based on ortho- Phenylene Diamine. Photos will follow. :)

A funny Nicca/Fed.
In fact, a "combo" early Nicca (for the cover, the arm of the rangefinder and the baseplate) and Fed 1f. All is from 1948/49, so the camera is coherent.

It's the first time I see such a camera...

Amitiйs. Jacques.

A very "cool" Nicca with complete Fed body!
Regards
LP

Yes, Luiz, "cool" is the right word. I will put it in the wiki, in the
"Russian Leica copies", with other pictures.

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Nippon cвmeras are forerunner of Nicca series
from the first model they includes slow speeds
see:

Very interesting

LP

Thanks Luiz!
It seems that some early Nippons didn't have the slow speeds.
See: http://corsopolaris.net/supercameras/nicca/nicca.html

But mine is a Fed with Nicca parts, nothing else!

Amitiйs. Jacques.

My friend Jacques
The only Nicca without slow speeds were made in the 1943-1946 period
probably not compatible with the FED body you have. Although the preiod could be superposing, politics in the era were not favourable (seems to be)

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forum.
