This extremely scarce camera was a FED 1 with a Kiev mount and an East German Contax lens.

I see what appears to be a genuine example of this collector's prize on ebay

It's way out of my price range, so I am certainly not a contender for it, but I find the camera really fascinating. This appears to be a super high-end limited production camera with effectively a fixed lens. Since it does not have the outer bayonet of the Contax/Kiev mount, it is possible to interchange lenses, but only in the 50mm focal length. I find that very strange, since it looks as if the full bayonet mount could have been used. Is there anyone out there familiar with this fascinating beast??
Cheers,
Dez

Heheh... Guess what, I was looking at the same camera last week. It's out of my league as well, but I was really interessed in earing something more about it. I know the seller (he owns a real shop here in Milan), so I'll try to check it out asap (;
