Hello,

It is a 1g. The red color is not original (all the 1-s were made in black). I have one of these red Feds too: it enlightens a black collection!
The lens is an Industar 22, normally put on Zorkis. Probably better than the original Fed lens!

Amitiйs. Jacques.

thank you Jaques! could you tell me what is it worth?

Just the price you paid for it, I would say...
To be serious, around 60-70Ђ: these Fed 1g are common. But there is no real rule for modified cameras.

PS: according to the serial number, yours was probably made in 1953.

I know, I'd just want to be sure I haven't paid it too much!

Hi,
it is not a fake, but nice repainted camera . As Jacques already said, there were no colored FED-1, only in black.
It seems to be completely repainted. Original painted cameras (for example FED-2) have
nevertheless all inscriptions in black. Normally the body only is painted.

The lens is much better than original FED-1 lens and fits to the camera (the camera is also about 1953/54).
Such camera could cost about 50,- Euro in good condition.

Regards, Alexander

Thank you Alexander!

Very interesting information. Considering passport's data S-13 cameras where already produced in 1953-54, possibly even earlier. Possibly they where made for and installed on Mig 17 or even on Mig 15 fighters, and where used in Korean war and Vietnam. I wonder if this camera are USSR design, or it was "influenced" by German designs ?
