Hi everyone!
I just got a zorkij 1, I think its's a 1d. But it's serial (461939) would indicate that it has the accent ring around the mount (according to the table I found at https://www.fedka.com/Frames/Main_Frame.htm), that it does not have. Also, it's a "zorki-zorki", a one with both cyrillic and latin engraving on top. It has its serial on the back. Is it possible that it was made like this, or it was put together from several cameras? (altogether it looks great, needs a little cleaning, the rubber covering looks old, but it works fine)
Thanks if you help me!

3 weeks and nobody posting anything. so I will just show my latest purchases, nothing special...



a late fed 50mm lens, an industar-10 type which I had not tested yet on my A7 camera page


a zenit SLR camera just for the helios 44 lens


a skf_1 stereo attachment, obviously NOS (new old stock)


attached to a zenit, but it will be used on the A7


the viewer part attached.

I hope the forum will wake up again soon...

it looks fine. mine is an ordinary T series. I have read that T stands for a wider temperature range. guido mentions a P model for polar on his page. does anyone know about the differences between A and T?

Fed 35. Quite a rare camera but unfortunately the shutter is jammed open (if anyone has any tips on repair please let me know!). Other small defect is there's no plastic in the frame counter window - just a hole. I'm guessing that's not how it was originally.

According to Princelle this camera has manual, automatic and semi-automatic modes. But I'm not sure how you would select the different modes, apart from the A on the shutter speed select like a Fed 50.

Nice addition for the cabinet, in any case.

and with a working meter.

I was looking for this camera for quite some years. I already bought 2 others, one had a broken meter and a broken film advance, the other a working meter, but also a broken film advance. so I had given up until vlad recommended okvintagecamera.com a few weeks ago. I bought this one from them. as we will have some days of very bad weather, testing will wait until next week...

That's a nice one! I have an Iskra but the film advance doesn't work properly either - it's a very delicate mechanism. I'd like an Iskra 2 too some day. Okvintagecamera is a great site and the prices look very reasonable to me.

That's a really lovely looking camera! Looks great all in black. I do like Zenit Bs and the pancake Industar suits it better than a Helios 44.

I have a black Kiev 4AM which to me looks much nicer than the metal finish but alas that one isn't original - it has been refinished. Very nicely done, though.

Michael.
