I'll try to be there both days. There will be a meeting point?

Hello Francesco,

Check that picture (red circle), here's one entrance of the fair - there's always a place where they sell coffee. We may meet there ?

Be carefull, on saturday and sunday, there is transport strike.

I will try get there by 2 or 3 PM. I hope the strike will not cancel all trains. I wiil look a round with a fsu camera hanging from my Beck

Hello Francesco !

Now I'ґm in Bievres. No problems with the current strike. See you soon 🤞

Some pictures of the fair :

Myself (right) listening to a friendly Ukrainian seller

While walking I meet somebody with a FSU case. So I asked him what camera it was. Here's the Zorki 1 he showed me. It belonged to his father. A Zorki 1 with show speeds added. Working condition ;)

Jed,
It is very funny to see the camera belonged to somebody‘s father, that was never produced . This somebody was definetly from the Ukraine.
By the way, Jed, I wrote you yesterday whatsapp and you didn't answer.

Regards, Alexander

This someone was definitely from Italy. The camera belonged to my father, he told me that my grandfather purchased it from a forein sailor. My grandfather died in 1955 for an accident, so it must nave been purchased before that time. The repairman who did a CLA on the camera said that it wasn't modified in any part, and everythig is original from the factory. Only a little piece of the slow speed gear was repaired.
Jed, we met.

Claudio Asquini's Zorki 1 with slow speeds is well known too...
Thanks for the photos and the report: very pleasant for those who cannot attend the fair!

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Francesco !

Incredible ! I'm so glad it was you
