The "Just arrived in my collection" thread is just way too long so I decided to post separately Smile. This was a nice set of packages waiting for me after I came back from a little trip. Smile




Special thanks to Juhani for his great help in acquiring the Amator for me from Sweden, and 5 of the cameras here are also his.

It seems that the collecting is coming in waves over the years, a few years you buy a lot, a few years you a little bit cool down then run into some new information and start buying like crazy again Smile. I think I bought around 40 cameras since June.

Well also I took a few photos of my latest state of collection, it's been many years since I posted it, I would like to see what you guys are up to as well, post your collections and what they look like now!

With my latest round of purchases the empty top shelf in one of the pictures is no longer empty Smile These pictures are 2 months old and are already outdated Smile

That is a Sport, it's just someone has taken off the black paint on the whole camera. I don't know why - maybe unfinished restoration..

The FED NKVD you see near Sputnik is actually a USSRPhoto 5 Year anniversary custom Zorki. Smile

That's a lot of camera! Shocked
I particulary appreciate the Uran-27 in his A39 camera Smile
And a question, what is the lens on the photo number 4 (last post) mounted on Zenit ET. Front glass seems to be quite wide, but I can recognize engraving...
Oh, and which lens is used on this DIY photosniper (between the white and black Photosnipers)? Industar-37?
I see you have also this belarus Selena with J-38, I guess J-39 should be somewhere around it. Those lens are quite interesting to use, nice IQ.
Is your Rakurs in working condition?

My collection is only lens collection, I'm not into camera thing. I'm also no into accumulation thing, so I rarely have 2 identical lenses.
It's photo from april, so it's already outdated, some interesting lenses are missing, like RO2-2M or MOM-1...OF-41...OB-J55929007...well yes, quite outdated Big smile
99% of them were already mounted on my A7. The only one that I didn't mounted is Jupiter-13 125/1.5 because of missing glass.

Hi Pierre!

Wow that's quite a lens collection! Very nice!

I actually don't collect lenses, only ones that come with cameras Smile

Regarding lens on ET - that's not a Soviet lens - it's a Rokinon 135mm 2.8 M42.

I am also not into accumulation, all cameras in the pictures are unique, no duplicates. They differ in some way on another. Duplicates are stored separately reserved for trade with other colletors.

Best regards,
Vlad

sorry, yes, missed those. Yes it's I-37 on the homemade photosniper. I only have the J-38 with the Selena unfortunately. And Rakurs does work since I bought it functional but I never tested it, I don't use my cameras anymore..

Cheers,

Vlad

No doubt, the meaning of the word "collector" is evident when seeing your collection, Vlad...Big smile

I cannot do the same. I have a special shelf for my Fed 1, but the Contax/Kiev are scattered in other boards... I am jealous of your neat and beautiful order. BTW, how many cameras do you have?

Pierre, your floor is over crowded. Your lenses look like buildings, some of them being skyscrapers!

Amitiés. Jacques.

Thank you Pierra, yes Zenit-7 is one of my favorite ones Smile

Jacques, thank you very much! I would love to see your shelves as well! I have around 575 cameras if I am to include the cine cameras.

Best regards,
Vlad

She stopped realizing how many I really have somewhere around 100...
Now I am again under 300 (including Chinese ones), should someday make a new inventory.

Best regards,

Ah ok, I thought the AFPI is a russian camera I have never saw before but it is not the case.
Sport looks interesing even not pained.
Zorki 5th anniversary, hmmm, I have expected someting spectacular like FED NKVD number 150. Smile

Vlad, thanks for explanations and links.

Hi Vlad,

Congratulations on a brilliant Soviet camera collection and display. You have encouraged me to count up my collection and it amounts to 592 Soviet cameras, 19 other cameras, 68 Soviet lenses and 180 Soviet photographic accessories. Unfortunately, I live in a small cottage and there is no room to display my collection, so it is all stored in plastic crates, with each camera packed in a plastic bag with silica gel. I have decided to stop collecting now (at the age of 73), and possibly start selling the collection off. I am sure that my interest in Soviet cameras and in particular your exceptional website, will remain.

David.
