Catalog entry revision

This Wiki entry is meant to keep track of possible inacuracies or mistakes and proposed corrections to the "1200 Camera from USSR" book by Suglob, Shaternik and Kochergin. Our hope is that these will be ratified in the next edition of the book by authors and be of help to them.

Please follow the posting convention below - state name, page #, mistake/correction and related forum thread if applicable for each item.

1. 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.

2. 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.".
