*Année / year 1953 This seems to be a rare camera. It's a small stamped metal camera for 4x4cm pictures on 127 rollfilm. Body size 8,5 cm x 6 cm. This one is marked "made in Denmark" (some are "made in Switzerland"). The body is black crinckle painted; top, bottom and front are chrome finished. Lens marked EHZ 47,5mm/f11. Simple shutter 1/50 sec, T. Fixed focus from 1,50m to infinity. Found with original worn box and instructions leaflet printed in Kopenhagen (English language). Further informations about this camera ? please let me know ! >>>>>>> Reijo Lauro from Finland forwarded me the following informations picked up in the Danish magazine Objektiv nr.35, april 1986, page 10 : Fotex 4x4 cm is one of the few cameras made in Denmark. Only 433 cameras have been manufactured ; production ceased in 1953; original price was 24 Danish Crowns. "Objektiv" is edited by Dansk Fotohistorisk Selskab. So, it IS a rare camera !

| FED STEREO |
Année / year 1988-1996 SN 204745 FED STEREO in cyrillic letters on front. Zone focus 35mm stereo camera with built in Cds metering. Negative format : 24x30mm 7 perf. Image Window Separation 63.4 mm Lenses are multicoated Industar-81 4-element Tessar, f2.8/38mm, filter thread M 25.5 x 0.5 or clip-on filters 27 mm. Manual focusing from 1 m to infinity, movement of the whole lens. Diaphragms are of the double lamellar type (diamond shaped), f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16 (linked with shutter speed). Mechanical double lamellar type (diamond shaped) shutter cocked with film transport. Speeds : - 1/30 to 1/650 sec at f2.8 to f/16 (automatic mode, needs battery) - "B" at f2.8 - 1/30 at f2.8 to f16 (manual mode, no bettery needed) This is a very usable camera but with some peculiarities : - The first time that you advance film it only advances once and will take a picture. After the second exposure the film must be advanced three times to clear all the exposed frames. This pattern of one advance then three advances continues to the end of the roll. - Automatic setting : when the camera is set to automatic and the light is insufficient the shutter release refuses to work. There are no warnings or other indications. The camera shown here has been bought new in 1992 and comes with lenscap, hard plastic box, cardboard box and instructions in Russian.

| FED 3 Model B |
*Année / year c.1964-80 SN 8687237 lens 7120415 The Fed 3 is a development of the earlier Fed and Fed 2 cameras, being themselves copies of the Leica II and III 35mm cameras. It has a new short base rangefinder assembly with a new shutter. The shutter has speeds of B,500,250,125,60,15,8,4,2,1 and 30. The range finder cam now has its axis of rotation on the rewind side and dioptric adjustment is made by rotating the view finder. Dual engraving Cyrillic and Latin script " FED-3" ( this export model with "MADE IN USSR" on the back). The shutter must be wound first, only then can you set the correct speed. The camera was given a new flat top and a rapid film advance lever. The shoulder strap lugs were removed and a fixed film take up spool was added, except for export models which still had removable spools. The eveready case for this camera has one snap and is made of brown leather with FED-3 (in Cyrillic Script letters) with a chrome ring. Lens mount LTM 39mm, lens type FED Industar-61 f2.8/52mm. Thanks Claudio.
