Other/Uncategorized Cameras like Leica I

[begona]

Hi everyone,

I am in love with leica IF camera but it is to expensive to me. Is there any copy alternative?

Look for a FED1 or Zorki1 in good condition.
They are sometimes sold as "Leica copy" with Leica branding
also.

A small number of FED/ZORKI cameras were converted to look like "Leica I" models , but I thought these always looked somewhat crude. And probably just as pricy if you find one.

You'd still miss the flash sync and the flash delay dial of the If though.

I do not care about flash, RF..just want to have IF (na be also Ic or other)..You know, wide angle lens, viewfinder and that is it

I saw Zorki Standard modification, and it looks ok to me...just wondering if there is any copy of Leica I

The only copies I ever heard of were FSU's so I think its either Russian or the real thing.

 

[jbielikowski]

you can make one like this

edit: oh well, you probably know it.

For the specific look of the Leica I, I agree with Raymond,

If it's purely on a functional basis; Voigtlander Bessa-L perhaps?
