what's this?

Hey guys,

Saw this going cheap, and couldn't resist bidding!

What is it, though?

Cheers,
Steve

It's a KGB Fed ;-)

Stephen, you made a big mistake posting that FED for sale here. Now you will have to outbid me

Just kidding. I've got too many cameras already.

Hi Steve,
You already outbid me, but that's ok, I was only half interested anyway. Besides, as Kris said, I have too many cameras anyway. It's an older Fed, pretty much a Fed 1 if you will.

Ah well, I lost it anyway.

I didn't want it all THAT much. But then, I only really know them by reputation, rather than feel. One day...

But maybe a later model, with easier film loading.

Cheers,
Steve

I forgot you're lurking around my neighbourhood!

Tell you what, if I *do* get a Russki camera, I promise to hook up with you sometime and let you have a play with it, okay?

Thanks for the generousity Stephen. Now will you let me play with your Leica too if you ever get one?

I'm pretty sure I can say yes to that, too!

Hey, I like this - being generous with stuff I don't have is fun - I can get the kudos without any effort at all!

Seriously, I'd like to get together with you sometime when I get the XA - going by your photos (I love your Melbourne presentation - really captures the spirit of the city, imho) I could learn a lot.

Cheers,
Steve
(yes, and that means you'd get to play with the XA, too)
