I just bought a Black Zarya. And after reading a few articles, apartently mine is a 0154xxxx and a few thousand may have been made past the 0141xxx batch. BUT..Is the Black Original or added later....It looks great in black..And I have a black Pentacon 30mm f/3.5 to out on it too. (My Pentacon is a M42 with a M42>L39 adaptor ..Here is a picture or two

I am having trouble with the PayPal checkout....Uhhhhhh..I have read that they have had some problems that are being fixed as we speak. Anyone else having problems with PayPal??

Anyone using these Fed/Zarya ....??

I may be wrong here but I think the only FED that ever came in black was the 5 (C?). The Zarya is likely to be a paint-job. The lens is the Industar 26M, which is nice and sharp.
 
yeah...I thought so...on the black paint...It does look like a professional job though. I hope when I get it, it is in good working order. The shutter is the improved version used in the Fed 2. Since it has no RF..It should be a pretty sturdy and durible camera for Street shootinng with that nice 30mm Pentacon I have for it.

A black Zarya was my first FSU! A real beaty, but a bad paint job, it started flaking off pretty quickly.
I had a shutter problem with mine which I was able to fix easily thanks to "fidget" and "wolves" here at RFF. That's how I found RFF.

Many thanks again to wolves and fidget..:)

That's a nice one...
Clear nail polish should do the trick :D As soon as PayPal is up and running, I can pay for it....What a pain in the neck. I have over $90.00 in PayPal from a my Nikon FTn Body sale a few days ago, But when I try to Pay for the Zarya, I get an error message saying, Paypal can't process the payment at this time, and to choose anther form of payment. I don't do Money Orders with eBay auctions..Ahhhhhhh:bang:... I have written PayPal, and they have responded back needing more info of the auction. I gave it to them, and am waiting for a response. I have contacted the Seller too with the problem.

Thanks...Summer is here, and Street shooting is on my agenda with the Zarya and 30mm Pentacon.
 
The Zarya is one of my favorites too. It's almost
toy-like but at the same time capable of serious
photography. So incredibly easy to maintenance
and it's the one Russian camera that accepts my
135/4 Hektor without complaining.
