Ha, ha! JLP as a piper with a "Compare our prices" behind! Thanks Ilyast!Big smile
Concerning the Fed s/n 4184, Fred's is not a fake. Two possibilities: a replacement of a non working 1a by a 1b by the factory (under warranty), with the same s/n. We have some in the wiki. Or a mistake in the numbering: not impossible too. We have already discussed that matter.

Fred, all your purchases are bargains! The 1948 Kiev is particularly interesting, with these mix Dresden/Jena parts. Just don't restore it too much. But you do what you want, of course!

Tell me please when you have photos with your 0.95 Canon lens!Tongue

Amitiés. Jacques.

No. I can't find anything there. I just purchased there 3 old films, actually from JLP. But it is from the same trip. Trip was really productive. I find about 5-7 very rare cameras.
Second camera is Record 1.

I would love to know what is the real price level of such wonders in Bievres, but I am afraid that Fred will not share that information with us.

Best regards,
Juhani


Hi Juhani
I bought the fake Red Flag and #4186 for 300 euros. The Fed with 2/50mm for 70 euros. The Zorki 1 for 60 euros. and the Kiev for 200 euros. Canon 7 with 0.95, much more expensive...

Fred


Thank you, not that bad.
And my favourite is the Kiev Approve

Best regards,
Juhani

Yes, Ilya. With such a vulcanite and a flat on the shutter button, it must be a last 1b. I have the same in the s/n 48xxx. And too the s/n 4580 with the same vulcanite.
If I remember, another hypothesis was a special engraving for a ministry or other....

OK with Juhani: I find too the Kiev is the most exciting!

Jacques.

Thanks Ilya,
the last link has also an inside picture, but maybe there is something missing. Hope your Record is complete. Would also be interesting to know how high and wide the box is because it looks really small. Is it made of wood or bakelite?

Thanks for the photos Ilya,
a Leica without shoe? It must have been a Model-A before from 1928.
Fed-KMZ #00070 was in Aidas' hands before, I wonder how many owners this camera already had. Interesting that it has a leather case, never saw it before.
Fed-Zorki #00691, is it original, looks strange to me.
Fed-Zorki #04862, one of the last with 1/1000.
Many leather cases, was something inside or written on them. Please put a note inside so that the comibination with the camera won't get lost, or make photos to keep the combination.
Hope they all work.
Thanks Lenny

There was no Leica without shoe, Lenny. Even the Leica 0. This Leica/Fed seems made with a Fed cover from the s/n c. 9000/10000, by the shape of the finder. With such a number, it should have a shoe.

We already have the Fed 1a s/n 05890 in our wiki with Juhani as owner.

Jacques.
