Proposed Corrections to 1200 Cameras from USSR book
- David Tomlinson - Page 440 - In JLP's book it was stated that the earlier and rarer FED-Atlas had a self-timer. This is repeated on page 440 of Victor Suglob's mammoth volume. In fact, both illustrations are of the same camera (with self-timer). I believe that Aidas is correct on his website, when he states that the earler and rarer FED-Atlas had no self-timer. Having checked my own collection and also checked on Ebay, it would seem that the vast majority of FED-Atlas cameras do in fact have a self-timer.

- Vladislav Kern - Page 387 - According to SSK book 1200 Cameras from USSR - page 387 top camera - FEDs that we called "Warranty" or "Unsual Serial # FEDS that had 3-4 digit numbers are stated to be made in Berdsk. Bill Parkinson writes: " there is a passport and camera pictured in our WIKI from a Kharkov collector with a passport from 1936 ... so no way the passport and engraving were both wrong, and obviously dated in 1936, not during the Berdsk years.".
