I have a lubitel 2 camera, in a lather case dated 1927.
the case has a mark on the front, made of broken arrow in a pentagon.
Do i have an old camera, or is it an old case with a "new" camera?

This a wonderful and valauble site providing essential and authorative information on wide selection of Soviet era cameras. I have been able to find information on the FK, professional large format plate camera that is not to be easily fpound elsewhere.

One other question, where do all these fake Leica models fit in the list. Some are true well finished an look very professional. What is there quality, do they really function as a camera?

Your collection is impressive, I have never really understood collecting. I am a geographer/geologist/photographer grown old. Suddenly, I have taken an interest in USSR cameras, I bought a Yauka 2m, a FED 3, FED 4, and a Kiev 4AM. I bought some lens. What is your impression of the over quality of the Kiev 4AM relative to other earlier models of Kiev. Also,I have noted that some Kiev models are labelled "Contax" and other are not. What is the significance of this Contax vs Kiev labelling? Is there an implication of quality control differences?

I'm glad I found your site. I just purchased a Zorki 4 and I'm very happy with it. Although I have digital equipment, Cannon Rebel XLT, my favorite is still film. Mostly medium format. I currently own a Bronica SQA and a Flexoret, a TLR from Checkoslovakia. I look forward to having a site to go to for questions about my Zorki.
Thank you,
Richard

I have a great interest in film cameras from the 40's through the 70's. Although I own a Cannon Digital SLR, I also own several Zeiss and Voightlanders. I realy enjoy medium format and own a few of these including a Bronica SQA. My most recent purchase is a Zorki 4K and look forward to shooting 35mm with this great old camera. I just found your web site and will bookmark this in favorites. Nice to have found you guys.

Hi,
Great site !
I have been looking for information on old cameras for quite some time and finally I found it. Your site allowed me to find information on my old camera, My Aunt gave it to me when I was 12 and it is a lovely Zenit-E in very good shape the only thing with it is the light meter does not seem to mesure properly ( may be dirty or defective ) and the plastic part on the handle to advance your film has a small piece missing. Other than that it still works fine and takes very nice pictures. Thank you for your site. Michel

I just purchased a Zenit ET with a Gelios 44-2 lens at a flea-market in Germany for 15 Euro. Everything seems to be functional and there was still film in the camera - it will be very interesting to see what's on the film when it is developed. I hope 15 Euro was a good price for such a solidly built camera.

Thanks again!

I still have my trusty SMENA, teh model with the shutter at the lens; it was my very first camera. My mother bought it for me during her visit to Moskva in 1956 and brought it home to me in Budapest. Although it has seen the world an took thousands of great pictures, it is still in perfect condition. I always use it for black and white shooting. I will send you my favorite shot of my wife, Leila.

Scrolling thru the web I stmbled to Your page Re VOOMP,I was surprised that You said You`ve never saw one,fact is that they are very very rare.Maybe the reson is Your youth? But there are two solutions if You want to see one
A/ Visit the Moscow Politechnical Museum
B/ Buy one from me (in much much better shape than the one used in Your`s and everybodies else photos)
Best Regards Nenad
P.S. I find the solution A/ much cheaper

really nice and useful site and a great database for russian camera freaks like me. i am proud owner of Kiev 4 camera made in 1960 (as shown on the first two numbers of the serial code). also i use FED 3 borrowed from a friend, which has awesome feeling while shooting and excellent framing. once i was told russian cameras aren't worth buying and using but i have to disagree, especially when it comes for vintage look and feeling of the analog/mechanic photography. i am interested in learning more about Lomo factory/cameras history and etc. also it will be great to have a place where rus-camera owners can exchange info about their babies.
good luck with growing the database.
