just arrived in my collection

Ulrich I remember I bought my own Zenit Junior back from you after many years accidentally

Vlad, according to my camera list I have only one Zenit Junior and I have not sold it. But where is it... ;-)

Juhani, nice Leica. I think you feel that an original Leica is smoother than the FEDs and Zorkis :-)

Danke

Yes. Clearly smoother than FED/Zorki, but same level as the incredible TSVVS

Best regards,

Hi Juhani,

Nice IIIc!
The pattern of its "sharkskin" vulcanite is vertical, like on my IIIa "Montй en Sarre" which is contemporaneous (1949). On the other IIIc "sharkskin" I know, the pattern is horizontal.
Could you give me the s/n of your camera, for my tables, and to discuss with French specialists?

Thanks! Jacques.
PS: sorry to be OT, Vlad...

Sure, body # 484258 and lens # 629111 which is a bit older I suppose?
The camera is most likely sold originally in Stockholm Sweden by the ancient sticker in the baseplate inner surface, a well known shop for high-end German cameras. In the post-war Finland it was typical to go over to Sweden for "luxury items", as import here was still restricted.
This picture also shows the vulcanite clearly:



Best regards,
Juhani

Ulrich, I am mistaken then, was too long ago, the Zenit Junior must've been with someone else then, maybe even Juhani, but with someone here ..

It is a very nice mint Leica!

Yes. By the tables, your lens was delivered in 1946, and I have checked for the body: 1949.
Thanks for the photo. Can I use it on this site: http://www.summilux.net/index.php for a discussion?

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Of course you can

Best regards,
Juhani

from Copenaghen (FotoC shop) Kiev II (1956)






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

Only dead fish follow the stream ...

Found this one on ebay, it's a Kiev IIIa from 1956. Not sure about the engraving - was this a camera for the red army?

No, very probably a "home made" inscription, even if there are some (very few) special Kiev III.
Here, for example: http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=48&ParentID=1&ContentID=1270&Item=Kiev+III+Anniversary+1654%2D1954

But a nice camera...

Jacques.

I've also seen this Arsenal logo Kiev for sale, avoided it as well, looks aftermarket to me.. fun camera to have though in collection, I have quite a few interesting modifications myself .

Best regards,
Vlad.

Hi all!!

Here are the cameras I got last saturday in an auction sale

The five FED were sold in one lot!!!

And if someone has information about the marking on Lubitel???

Thank you very much!!

Fred

Great lot, hopefully and likely also good price!
The Lubi is most likely a Kotleta: somenone just added the nameplate from the real SPUTNIK-stereocamera, which is easy. If it were real, there would be more than two specimen seen.

Best regards,
Juhani

Wow quite a nice purchase! I have the same Sputnik too, and Alain Berry had one but I think it was it's the entire shaft from Sputnik was transplanted. I agree with Juhani, but nice Feds and a PDF Zorki!!

not a milestone in Soviet production and my collection is not of a high standard.
So it fits perfectly among the others ...

Without this your collection would not be complete

Regards, Alexander

You also need a red one, and a no-name one
Also the LOMO 35F-1 fits well to that triplet

Best regards,
Juhani
