Bievres Fair 2018

Jed, thank you for the photos! Great to see it's still going strong! Was the fair smaller than before or about the same? Last time I was there was 2009, so a lot of dealers, not sure how it is now..

This Zorki is quite interesting! Looks very well made..

Best regards,
Vlad

Francesco,
I didn't know this camera, but I have seen last time too many fakes and fantasy cameras from Poland and Ukraine.
Sorry, I take back all what I said.


Regards, Alexander

AlexanderK no problem. I saw a couple of Zorki with slow speed in Italy, so for me this camera it is not so strange. The main difference, apart for the colour of the volcanite, is that in the other two cameras I saw the slow speeds are from a Zorki 3, while in my camera looks from a Fed B. The bag too is from a Fed B.
Regards Francesco.

Hi Francesco,

Perhaps you could open a special thread about your Zorki?
It would be possible to compare it with Asquini's which is well documented...

Thanks. Jacques.

I will try to do it in the next weeks.
Regards Francesco

Thanks.
And thanks to Jean, too, for the photos of the fair!

There was also FED-Zorki for 1700,- euro and FED-1 Nr.9xxx for 350,- euro.

in my opinion there was a bigger offer than the last 2 years, but prices were quite high. so I did not buy anything. it was a pleasure nevertheless to look at the fair. there were also more visitors, maybe because of the weather, it was like summer...

Hello,

I bought 9 cameras (only 2 working, 7 will need hard work). I'm satisfied.

One may interest you. Fed 1e (top speed 1/1000) :

Among other things, I bought this interesting box with inside a 1957 Zorki 4 first model with slim rim, macro tubes, turret finder an a 1958 Jupiter 12 n°5800332 made in Luktarino, wich I think belongs to the first batch of lenses released from that factory. The box itself is quite luxurious, never seen a russian box with inside a so thick blue velvet.
