"PDF" stands for PERISKOPICHESKII DLINNOFOKUSNII FOTOAPPARAT or Periscopic Distantfocusing Photocamera with 1500 and 300mm twin focal lengths. This equipment begun its life in 1944 in the second WW.
Give us closer detailed pictures when possible!
A great find.

In the article indicated by Zoom there are an interesting UDF field enlarger for imediate view of taken photos. Very inventive.
In the war there were also been used "GAZ" vehicles carrying a full photo laboratory.

Hello Alain,

That is a very impressive collection.

I thought I have too many cameras and lenses(about 300), but after seeing yours , I know I have a long way to go.

I am pleased to hear that you are interested in Chinese cameras now.
Here is part of my collection. There are something unique in my colection that I also picked up a few vintage microscopes.

Hi everyone,

as a fellow collector I am always wondering how do people display they collections at their homes? Are they on the shelves or in boxes, what do you do with camera cases? Do you display accessories? Here's what mine display looks like. I like to display only cameras and I use clear acrylic risers to create a multi-level display. What about you?

Vlad

Haha, go ahead, sure, but take the latest ones further down in the thread, these are old. :)

Hi Dear Vlad. Thanks for the permission.:-)

to day is a rare snowy day in my town ...so I have time to make a red velvet aluminium case including Kiev complete set for a friend :

alu

Aluminium case are very low cost here and easy to find in handcraft shop ...the most difficult is to found red velvet our season in fashions shop (that's a work for my pretty wife

)

01/06/2009 08:14

hmmmm ....

may be I have to stick some mirors inside for multiplication items like georgous Vlad

01/06/2009 10:44

This case looks very classy, Alain!

I am still having trouble finding this red velvet here in USA as well... These cases are pretty freely available here in U.S. too, but they cost about $50 each...

The mirrored shelved niches came with the house, so I did not do that on purpose

. But I do like the effect as well, thanks for the compliments!

Vlad.

Alucases cost here well under 15 euros each, that size as in the pic around 10 euros only!

Best regards,
Juhani

here you can get sizes alu cases for 15 euros !!! (prices grow up and down 15 to 30 euros for 3 cases - differents size black big standard one+medium siz blue one + small red )

My wife use the small red cases to display Hit Camera (alas ..last addict for her since one month : allready 50/70 differents still coming home ...mostly from USA)

Zang : very interesting collection too !!!(but it is difficult to read your very contrast picture )

One thing must be very important here please : A BIG NUMBER OF CAMERA , IS NOT A GOOD REFERENCE....(we are not small boys in a school yard whom compare what you mind ;-))) !)
For me , to day you know : I hunt for a Great Wall "6"...hard to find :-((

How do you display your collection?
