I do have a Leica, but I have never had as much fun as with this.

I could not resist getting that Revue-10 for 5 euros. It came with only half of the case, but that did not really matter for the price.

I feel we need some FSU craziness on here, so here's my contribution.

More FSU modification madness.

I've always wanted an 'arctic Fed' or whatever they are called, actually seems like a quite a good idea though shame they didn't enlarge the viewfinder too!

Where did you get yours?

Hi Michael

They seem to be popularly known as Fed "Siberia"s. The popular view also seems to be that there are no originals as such and are all copies of something that never existed. Whatever, the enlarged knobs seem pretty useful to me. I have a Leica III back in Blighty that had some similar but not so extensive enlargements. I got the camera from a camera shop here in the US via eBay. It was without the usual collapsible lens with enlarged aperture lever. Not really sure why they would have been separated. I agree with you with regard to the viewfinder size but you could always put an external finder on it.

Cheers,

Mark

Outstanding lens, I have exactly the same version (yellowish metal), but so far I'm using it guessing the composition through the normal rangefinder. Can you explain me better what viewfinder you coupled on your camera?

Bought the J12 from a good source.

Hi NorpA,

The VF is a Helios (Japan) . Given to me by a friend. It has 35-85-135mm framelines. Ah use varifocal spectacles and found the 35mm framelines to be difficult to see/use, at first.

Since the normal, 50mm VF on my Fed has a perfect dioptre adjust for my eyes; ah normally use the Helios VF simply for quickly, visually checking boundaries eg. trees, walls+vertical/horizontal lines. It has been a good aid whilst learning how to use a rangefinder without framelines.

Like you, ah often just judge visually.Experience is the best VF.
