Can anybody linked to this advice identify this accessory which could be a wide and tele lens made to suit a Futura S camera. It could also be a Futura S tele futar rangefinder 3.8/75 but I am unable to locate exact identification and purpose when searching the net. Thank you assuming that somebody can assist me here. Amanda

Thanks Richard, yes I will go through the Soviet Cam sight and try to identify the original model of the dirty black/brass camera. I find that site very helpful. I have many of these FED, Zorki and Leica Copies to identify, it is doing my head in!! I spent 3 hours on research tonight to finally identify a 1 FED type 2 When putting them up for sale I guess you would have to be absolutely positive about what you are advertising. The listed prices are all over the place, the one I did identify prices on eBay ranged from $200 to $2500 why is that?

HI Bill I already tried to clean it up, spent so long on the camera but the blackish haze over the brass just won't budge. I did read an article somewhere that mentioned that there were a few of the early Russian cameras made with this look but I can't even remember where I read this, it might have been on the Soviet Cams site. I will look it up again, I think it will go in my too hard basket. I just don't know how you get all this knowledge, it just does my head in!! Thanks again

Fortunately I didn't pay anything for the camera, so nothing to loose and I am much wiser just from the input on this thread.

Thanks Bill, I am just learning and you will get a laugh but what is a CLA?

Thanks again, I find the history of all vintage cameras from this era very interesting from all aspects. Wish I had all your knowledge!

Hi Rick, thanks for the info. It is the brass look that made it so hard to find on any web site I have looked at, even the leather or leatherette has a gold black finish up close up, now that you mention the stripping down of the chrome maybe the original camera was black all over because there are light and dark blackish marks all over the metal?? Do they fake the no.? as this has a relatively low no. ?

John, thank you so much I looked through all the Russian copies and couldn't find a look alike. Regards Amanda

Can anyone tell me the identity of this camera, I can't find an exact photo or information on it anywhere, I found photos of the Leica cameras in the 4 digit serial no. but none match this camera, I suspect it is a copy. Can anybody help me? The markings on the camera - the top Leica D.R.P. Ermst Leitz Wetzlar No. 3371 The body is black leather and the metal parts are a tarnished looking brassed/black Amanda
