just arrived in my collection

I will show in the next segment something that really shocked me I am still preparing photos
Regards

Otherwise a very professional and/or expensive kit, but the Marucon really doesn't fit there, especially timewise.

Best regards,
Juhani

hello Juhani
that is true but the inventiveness of the sunchade/lens adapter has its real merits, as wll as the the home made finder.
Regards

This fourth approach runs around a beautiful vintage adapted bottle bag:
That contains a Start and a Zenit Sporting some Professional and cleverly home made accessories. In order to show better this excelent kit I devided the article is segments for better appreciation.
First a Start body to which was built a fitted home made eveready case, a M39 transient ring and a vertical accessory finder which seems to have a a Zenit ocular of a later era.
The camera itself seems to have lost its original lens but Mr Gilberto magistrally adapted a Helios 44 M 6 from Valdai operating in complete auto mood and with a proper bayonet. It was also made a M39 old Zenit mount and an extra knob giving better shooting ergonomy when used with non automatic lenses. Also a conventional Zenit 3M with a tailored identical eveready case, but obviously smaller than the previous model. The camera came with its original black Helios 44 from Belomo. The kit includes two sets of specially made extension tubes (one in original Leica Standard and other in Praktica Standard lenghts) both cameras have a rethread 1/4” tripod lock. The accessory lenses included are a Mir 1 from Sergei Posad, a Jupiter 9 from Lytkarino and a Jupiter 11 from Kazan. It also included a modified 75mm Soligor enlarging lens All in M39 Zenit mount.
And finally something that really shocked me. - Some time ago I published at these USSRPhoto pages the article ‘Helios 44 outer limits” see http://ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=86&ParentID=4&ContentID=297&Item=Helios+44+Outer+Limits+%2D+by+Luiz+Paracampo
This developed system was adapted over the old white version of KMZ Helios 44. Beside the included Double kit of extension tubes it included a single element tele converter (а la Zeiss Distar -10.75D ), the corrector ring when the rear element is not used, a reverser ring for macro purposes, three extension rings M39 in the M42 standard ratios and a Start Bayonet coupler. The set included also a Soligor 75mm lens for macro prepaired to receive 49mm filtersm and a home made center spot soft filter 49mm а la Thambar.
Together, two 49 mm Center blinded spot filter and a single element 10.75D teleconverter were included.

A ball joint head of complete different concept and a two level portatile tripod were also built and included.

As it was previously seen, this magnificent outfit touched me in a impactant way, not only due the Helios lens specially adapted for the Start camera, but mainly because I saw that very near me, and in the same state I live, so0meone built the “Outer Limits” and got further without my knowledge, or pehaps consultation.
I spent some hours studying its artisanal construction and the real limits of its possibilities. Certainly Mr or Professor Gilberto saw it in our site and gave his own version and/or contribution, but strangely left it behind when was gone to Spain.
Apparently he left no appointments at all. So, moved by some internal proudness, I decided to make a show in order to demonstrate the large capabilities of my Project constructed by someone I could not immagine could be interested to undertake it ahead. Together a two level tripod and a large angle swivel head came in the outfit and everything made me happy.
I wait this could make you enjoy and appreciate a very particular kind of collectionist that exists abroad and we are not aware.
Regards to all.

In complement of our previous description, this is the head and tripod that came together this historic outfit, Enjoy!

Luiz,

unbelivable, what great sets!
I also own a Start with the M39 adapter ring and a waist level finder. Both are rare today.

Попал мне в коллекцию оригинальный сбор Zorki + редкий индустар 22 с документами. Многие интересовались, для чего изготавливали белые Индустар 22 жесткой конструкции. Вот и ответ. Это были опытные партии для выяснения спроса и отзывов на такие объективы.
Аппарат достался с сухими шторками. Шторки были заменены, механизмы почищены. Аппарат полностью рабочий.

Hi Denn,
welcome here & thank you for this note. Very interesting information.
