USSRPhoto.com 5 Year Anniversary camera

Hi Vlad

I would like to commit for 2 cameras please...
It's only when I look at your message than I realized I could have 2.....

I was sleeping this week end....

Fred

Alexander, what do you suggest?

Fred - ok.

Cheers,
Vlad

Vlad,

for example, black for top and bottom plates and light-brown covering with wooden structure.
Something like this:

Alexander, I guess I'm ok with that as well. I just thought black lacquered finish would look unique.. Let's have people vote on that..

Please reply via voting on our facebook page through link below.

Hello Vlad

I would prefer a Zorki 1 in chrome finish like this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160582516404

The 2 years anniversary camera had a black top and bottom, so I think it could be a nice idea to change the color this time.

The engravings should be filled with black or red color, not like the example shown on eBay (no filling at all, I have such a chrome Zorki-Zorki from this seller, great item by the way).

The body color with the "Grand Piano Lacquered Black" would look very nice with such a chrome top too.

By the way: Would it be possible to receive the same s/n as the last time?

Best wishes - Guido

Hi Vlad,

I agree 100% with Guido! Chrome top and bottom ... engraving filled in with red or black ... same serial numbers as last time ... (and if you remember my "special" order for one camera last time, I would get it again this time, as well as a regular). So if that is the case I would get two. I like the piano black too.

Sorry to all not to write for so long. I have been very busy with so many things!

My best to all, Bill

Regards, Bill

Bill good to see you back! Actually yes I like it a lot! Guido I'm with you we just need consensus. Bill I'll email you offline

High Gloss Chrome trim and the body in Grand Piano Lacquered Black* sounds Absolutely Fabulous!

Will the box be in the same colour ?

And if it also had the pop-out lens ..for myself that really would be the icing on the cake!

Re-series numbers as someone new on the block.. what numbers are vacant?

* Also Chinese 'oops Russian Lacquered Red would be very smart .

Keep Film Alive!

OK, I agree with Guido. Chrome top and bottom with "Grand Piano Lacquered Black" coloured body look very fine too.

Regards, Alexander

I also prefer the Zorki with chrome top like Guido.

Couple of things to keep in mind though:

1. He's out of chrome, so it'll be shiny nickel which is similar but has yellowish tint
2. Piano Glossy Black - I've mentioned and he said it's possible but have not seen any examples of it, so I am not sure if it'll be exact like we want it, I'll need to find out. It maybe black with wood grain, I need to wait for his reply.
3. I think it's fine if people claim the same serial #s they had for 2nd anniversary version, the people who never ordered one will get the rest of the block

Vlad

Guido, your serial # is not in the Wiki entry for 2nd Year camera, if you'd like the same one please let me know what it is and maybe update the wiki if possible.

Thanks,
Vlad

Done.

Best wishes - Guido

Great thank you Guido!

I'm a relative newbie here but I'd like one of these, please. :)

Best wishes, Kris.

OK, the tally so far is:

Name - Qty
Vlad - 1
Jacques - 1
Fred - 2
Colin - 1
Ulrich - 1
Guido - 1
Kris - 1
Bill - 2

Total cameras: 10

I just got an email from the seller. Apparently Zorki-1 are a lot more expensive than the FED-2 and harder to get so estimated price he gave me per piece is

180EUR which is approx $250USD and the box will probably be additional $50USD. It's a significantly more expensive than the FED-2. We can get Zorki-4 for about 40EUR cheaper I don't know if it's an option because we all have to agree to get that model. If this price changes your decision or qty to order please let me know.

Thanks!
Vlad.

Hello Vlad is the FED 1 the same price as the Zorki 1?...

The Zorki 1 quote: $250 +$50 with postage on top of that it's getting way outside my price range..

so I reckon the FED 2 may be the best deal.

You say "significantly more expensive than the FED-2" any idea of the FED 2 cost? Colin

Keep Film Alive!

Hello Vlad

The Zorki 4 would be fine for me, no problem. But I prefer the Zorki 1 option. Or the Zorki 3 ... but this could be a little too expensive! ;->

Best wishes - Guido
