Push-up thread

Luiz, Thanks for the info. However, as far as I can tell I'm not posting "zippered" photos. I'm clicking on "upload image" next to this reply box and navigating to the jpeg photo in my "pics to up" folder.

Hmmm, it's just occurred to me that by "zippered" you may mean thumbnails!

I'll get to the photo of my fed 3a, open it with "Windows Picture and fax viewer", then copy and paste the pic below this writing.

I've just found the "copy" command in the right mouse click menu and clicked on it and tried to paste here, but nothing happened.

You must open picture save it again as png and send it as png .
It will load correctly

Thanks for the info. I'll try it now.

Here's my Fed 3a(5):

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! Still won't do it!

I'll try again, this time having saved the photo as a png in a different photo processing program:

Nope. I think I'll give it up as a bad job.

You have to post a correct name, preferably a .JPG. No spaces and no brackets in the name. I downloaded your image, gave it a new name and uploaded it. Here it is, so you finally were successful

another try


http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent2/1722024_1622024_myfed3a1.png So you can keep the .png, but no spaces and no brackets in the name. I tried all possibilities, just to know.

Thank you for doing that, xva.

Spaces andBrackets are the problem? I wish I'd known, I've got it labeled "Fed 3a(5)" because as far as I can tell on the sovietcams website it's the 5th version of the 3A. I'm glad jpg's can be used as they are smaller file sizes than png's.

I'll try one more time:

So, after all this time I've learned how to post photos. Thank you Luiz. :-)

More than a month without any post. Hasn't happened for quite some time. So I push up again...

Lets go ahead

my first suggestion is to reopen the camera wiki section because no news, no readers

My suggestion would be to reopen the thread "just arrived in my collection", with a new warning by Vlad, if necessary.
I bought several cameras since it was closed, but none of them would deserve a special thread... So, I didn't write anything...

Thanks, Reinhard, to push up!

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Jacques you got your wish, I unlocked that thread I didn't realize it was such a problem..

in terms of interest, everyone is on social media now, this site became mostly an archive, I am grateful for the posts though. It was never about making any money on it, in fact it actually costs a decent amount to keep it up, ads only cover maybe 5-10% of it, but I'll keep it up as long as it serves purpose, I think information on the forum here is invaluable thanks to everyone's knowledge and posts over the years!

Best regards,
Vlad

Thank you Jacques, for laying your finger on one of these problems and thank you Vlad, for your immediate solution. There are quite some cameras to report. And yes, thank you so much for keeping this site working.

Seen from Cologne, Germany, there is much hope. Within one year we have seen 5 (!) new shops for analog photography opening in the center of our town and it seems as if they all make their living. People here seem to turn away from big social media towards smaller communities. All of these shops have a bunch of fans around them and it's a pleasure to dicuss with them and a good opportunity to pass information from the old like me to the young.

Russian cammeras will be part of it.

Thanks, Vlad, to keep this site opened, and to have unlocked the thread "just arrived..."! I have several cameras to put on it, in some days...
I cannot completely follow you when you say that everybody is on social media now. Probably a question of generation. I must admit
that my future is behind me

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Vlad, thanks. I agree with Jacques, I'm not a big user of social media either. It's nice that the thread is open again. I also have some new additions that don't need to have their own thread. And if it gets too big we'll open a second one like it :-)

Hello,

I'm not a very active contributor to this Forum, I need to say.

But also, I don't have Facebook or any other social-media account, besides whatsapp, to quickly keep in touch with family, friends etc.

This specialized Forum with its branches is an invaluable source either to the beginner or to advanced enthusiast and collector of cameras and optical equipment from the former USSR.

I've been a systematic collector of these cameras since when as an exchange student I moved to Warsaw in 1986. I had with me my Kiev-4A purchased in Venice in my early teens and my "advanced" 35mm. reflex, the Praktica B-200E.

Then, from 1989 onwards, most of Italy's flea markets were full of optical equipment from the former socialist countries, where I've avidly bought (often for nearly nothing), pieces that satisfied my collector's ambitions.

In the early 2000s, I've decided to part with most of the collection, keeping for myself just what remembered some "adventure", or common friends. The passion remained though, and this forum is my main source of information and research.

In the last 15 years, I've started to buy again ex-USSR cameras and accessories, mainly of the Kiev brand, or panoramic cameras (I've contributed, here, to the discussion re. the Horizon 205-PC.

Thanks to this Forum and the enthusiasm of who keeps it alive, anyone with specific interests, can find a precious place, like a living museum with library and archives...

A warm thank you from Italy,

Enzo

I don't use social media either. I don't post a great deal on here, partly because I tend to get a bit "carried away" with other forums or researching things I want to buy and generally being easily distracted, but mostly because I only have two pieces of Soviet gear: one Fed 3A and one Industar 26M. I have in the past owned or thought of buying other Soviet gear (previously owned: several each of Zorki 4k, Fed 2, Fed 4, one Lubitel 166B and one Lomo blik. Thought of buying: one or other of the "improved" Kiev88 cameras), but almost all of what I have now is not allowed to be mentioned here. I also have little knowledge of Soviet cameras etc., consequently I don't really have very much of value to contribute, unless you count saying Hello to new members.

It's time to wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the members of the forum. May health, luck and peace be on the list for 2025!
