just arrived in my collection

This weeks newcomers:



A rare black top version of Smena-6, so this is second black top version in my collection



Smena 8AM, version of 8A with self-timer







The GOMZ Sport is #2087, looks great and even works! GOMZ logo is excellent, but flash makes it darker than should

Best regards,
Juhani

Hi Juhani!
Great GOMZ-Sport! Congratulation!
I have just one question about. I have two early Sports with six screws on the top plate and both of them have a serial number engraved inside the camera (363 and 882 as you see on pictures). Does your camera has one as well?


GOMZ-Sport s/n 363


GOMZ-Sport s/n 882


Regards, Alexander

Thank you!
I did notice your pair, and I have wanted one for years, so when I finally found this I just had to have it.
Yes, 587 or 597. The stamp is so poor that I need more than my eyes to be sure which.

Best regards,
Juhani

Juhani,

congratulations to the Sport. It looks really cute :-)

My newest find, a Leningrad Stereoskop in original box with slides and stereo pictures. The colors of the slides have gone over the years, but it's a nice find at all.

Hi Ulrich,

Really funny.
When young (at 10-12 years or so, so in 1955 or about), I was offered exactly the same stereoscope, but written in latin caracters. A very good product, with a regulation by the black central wheel (which was red on my model).
Unhappily, it disappeared, I don't remember where or when...

So, is yours a copy? Do you have a date for it?

Amitiйs. Jacques.
PS: congratulations for all these "Sport", Juhani and Alexander. When I have finished with my Contaxes, I will hunt one...

Jacques,

there were some papers in the box. One instruction sheet that shows the date 9/11/62 printed on it and one piece of paper that seemed to be around the big slides, this one is stamped 1969.

So maybe the Stereoskop itself was made in or after 1962 and the slides were bought by somebody in 1969?

Interesting!
Here is the stereoscope Bruguiиre I had when a child (taken on eBay).
Not much differences compared to the Leningrad's...



So, the Leningrad could be a copy?

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Jacques,

take a look at this website:

It seems to be an exact copy :-)

On my last trip I brought two cameras very interesting:
Zenit 18 in perfect working order, despite evidence of gross repair and
Zenit 312m + Helios 77m-312m-4 1.8 / 50 best condition.





At the same time I brought the whole box of different Zenit type TTL that will serve me as spare parts for my repairs.

Two very nice lenses appeared today in my collection:


Jupiter-6 und Helios-40

I have just updated the catalog and added some more interesting lenses.


Regards, Alexander

Jacek, the 312m and the 412 cameras although fairly new Zenits seems to be rather uncommon now, congratulations. Zenit-18 is also a very nice acquisition! I don't see those much as well.

Vlad

What do you think about this camera? Serial is 8786

I have just added this Rubin document scanning camera to my collection and have updated the Wiki Catalog with additional photos and information.

David.

ZENIT-E GLOBAL
I dont know, is it common or not?

Hello Martti! Yes this is a very uncommon version as far as I know, made for Australian market. Congratulations!

Cheers,
Vlad

Martti,

We have a "Sport-Invasion" here :-) Today mine arrived. It's a later one (btw: serial on lens is the serial of the camera?) number 12675.
It looks good and works on all speeds and the finder is clear and bright.

I have one question to the lens. If you take off the lens and take a look from behind on it there is a lever with a small spring. Unfortunalety this spring is gone off on my lens and I don't know how to reinstall ist. Can anybody post or mail me a picture of this part of the lens?

So it looks as it comes out of the packet :-)
