You do NOT have a "RUSSIAN" FED lens -- you have a UKRAINIAN FED ....... Thanks Marc J. for the information on this lens. You are right it is Ukrainian made althouh when it was made, Ukraine was a Soviet Republic (wich doesn't make it Russian anyhow!). I will try to sell it anyway. It is not a good performer but it may interest a collector, the condition of this lens is exc. I found one in a magazine who specialize in FED cameras and lenses and wants to buy pre-war stuff. BTW, when I bought this lens, it was in an old red Leitz Elmar 3,5cm "Ekurz" (?) round cardboard box with velvet inside. Maybe the box is worth something? ;-> Regards Jacques Leonard =============== j.leonarddesigner@videotron.ca
