Two years and one camera!









FS-2 and Zenit-14 :)


You mean you only bought one camera in two years, Martti??
If I could be as wise...Blush

Congrats for this splendid Fed 1a, with a correct 1 turn lens.

Amitiés. Jacques.
One camera in 2 years but what a wonderful camera it is.
I guess the case is not from this camera because it has big screw at the bottom.
What is serial number of the lens ?
Lens number is 5177
And the case is with this camera
My last acquisition: two FED 2, now completely renovated by me and in full working order.

Hi !


Hello!

Fred











































I've just received this from an ebay seller in Ukraine:

Bah! I've forgotten how to add photos.Blush

Anyway, it's a Jupiter 8 from 1963. It only cost £24.99 plus £7 p+p. It seems to be working properly, although it doesn't look all that 'pretty'. I didn't really want to spend £60-£80, which seems to be the sort of price these things are going for quite often these days.
Two nice Zenits for Japanese market: Meprozenit-Pro (Zenit-B) and Meprozenit-E (Zenit-E), both with lens Mepro-Kominar 2,8/55.



What is that Mepro-Kominar lens? In my opinion one of the good reasons (price being another) for buying a Zenit was the good lens, so here they have changed it?

Best regards,
Juhani

I suppose that these Japanese versions of Zenit are not common? Bravo, Alexander.
Nothing very interesting here, just a xth version of the Fed 1b, that time with a release button sharper than the other ones...Smile

Amitiés. Jacques.
Wow this is a very nice addition Alexander! Very rare pair! The lens are Japanese, I guess only the bodies were exported and the importer put these as part of the package. I only have the "E" myself, still looking for Pro. Congratulations! I love the rebranded Zenits, it's almost like different countries do their own versions of Matryoshka. Fun to see Smile

Cheers,
Vlad

Juhani,
so far as I know the main porpose was to bring Kominar lenses to market so cheap as it possible, so the japanies bought the simpliest SLR-cameras and applied own Kominar lenses to them. These Meprozenit cameras with Kominar lenses had no competition in price.


Regards, Alexander
New to forum and a new 55 moskva 2 for me.



Congrats, and welcome here, Lee!Smile

Amitiés. Jacques.

A 1948 Fed Zorki arrived lately, with a correct lens.



Yesss, FED-Zorki is always a nice item.
Hi all!

FED 1b #27922 arrived with FED 1a #5985



















Hi all!!

Some new cameras in my collection..

ALBAR 15 #9315121 with rare 1/1000 sec








FED 1b # 11459.
Regarding Aidas website, it seems to be one of the 1800 (PE0195), last production with black circle on back.
















FED #173478
One of the latest produced before moving to Berdsk???










The Albar, a very fine finding Cool
Did you know the link behind the name? Greek "alba" means white, and Albar is made in Belarus, "White-Russia" Wink
What is odd to my eyes is why they added the 1/1000 speed, was it really needed that much?

Best regards,
Juhani
