EDIT: I'd like to only consider the viewfinder and not the tripod. I'm thinking that it would even be used, save for display purposes...
Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase a Russian Fed viewfinder and tripod that's original to the Fed 3 model # PE0650. These were originally released in 1967-68. After the PE0650 was released, a new serial number coding system was implemented in 1968 with model PE0655 (otherwise it's the exact same design and parts as the PE0650).
Anyway, does anyone know which turret/revolver-style viewfinder and tripod models were released for and at the same / similar time as the PE0650 Fed 3? I'm guessing that the viewfinder and tripods had the same numbering system, so the 6-digit serial numbers are a later release. Were the later releases improved versions? If so, I'd strongly consider them. For the tripod, I believe that they're virtually all the same, but I could be wrong.
Or maybe they're by different companies than the Fed 3 makers??
I've posted links to pictures below found on the 'net.
Thanks and please let me know!
