FED with 00

Bravo, Ilya!
It is the earleist FED-1 I have seen before.

Regards, Alexander

I think on this note we can close this site . We're done, now we've seen everything! . No words, Ilya, sincere congratulations!!

I had seen two 00. But this one is the first...
What can I say? Nothing!

Amitiйs to you, Ilya. Jacques.

Can I add: it's the first earliest Fed I see with an Elmar lens.
The rumour had told it, you show it.
Thanks, Ilya.

Hi Jacques,
This camera come with older ФЭД lens. I just replace it with earlier Leica. Here is something else.

No, this is not possible. I don't belive my eyes. I cannot see what I see.
FED 0045, congrats Ilya.


Now we are waiting for FED copy of Leica 1A.

Is FED number 0023 copy of Leica 1A or copy of Leica II ?

The second camera is a Fedetta (1937), in sheet iron.
Most of them have disappeared...

Jacques.

Sorry that was a mistake from me, I have understood something wrong of what altix told me. Maybe I was a bit confused after drinking some beer ;-)

To be more precice: I have not seen a picture of a FED with serial 23, only the one from Ilya. We also talked about early Kievs from 1947, so I have mixed up something.

I expect so. This one the first known.

Ilya, well, then congrats to that FED!

Thank you for the answer Ulrich.

Nevertheless it would be gr8 (forgive me this abbreviation but I love it) to see photo of FED which is copy of Leica IA.

For the moment, no "living" original Fed has been seen, only some photos taken in 1933. And of course several fakes.
Probably some of them are in safes...

I saw one photo of the FED. Do you have a link where I can see more ?

You could try sovetskoe_foto (if that works), january and february 1933.
Already on USSRphoto, thanks to Bill Parkinson: http://ussrphoto.com/wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=38&ParentID=4&ContentID=269&Item=Proletarskoe+Foto+1933+%2F+First+FED+Camera

I have in memory at least another photo showing the camera from the left.

Jacques.

Thank you Jacques.
And there are short articles so I will be able to read it.
