Дальномер

Pardon me for not speaking Russian,
I have a Fed Atlas that needs horizontal rangefinder adjustment. How can I do this? Also, it seems that the inside of the removable lens (the screwable element) has been touched. What is the correct possition of that element before attaching it back to the body?

Thank you very much and sorry if I invade your awesome forum,
Nikos.

Is there any information on the lens? All I have is just a photo from here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sovietcame ... otostream/

My main problem is that the inner element can be screwed inwards and outwards and I have no reference for adjusting it.

Thank you.

Вообще странно, как можно было написать в правильную ветку не зная русского

There is one important rule with all these FED Atlas/10: do not even think about removing the lens from the camera.
Unfortunately, the upper link explains something about vertical adjustment.

And about inner element. You can find its right position by using any DSLR. I think it would be something really bad in wrong position.

Yeap, that is true. For years I have been collecting such cameras and I try hard to learn as much Russian as I can. It is not easy though (you cannot teach an old dog new tricks)



Yes, indeed, but I have received it messed up and fell sorry leaving it on my desk like this.

How can one find the right position with a DSLR? Do I have to mount that lens on it? Is there an article about it?



Thank you, I have sent a PM to Peter too (I hope I am not anoying though )

This is very easy. Just take the lens in one hand and DSLR in another Yeap, it will be only "macro" mode, but anyway...

Aha! Yes, I remember that trick!!! Thank you!!!

Amazing! An hour ago I had realized that the previous owner had the lens disassembled and put things back in the wrong way. The blades where incorrectly placed, the index that was moving the blades was upside down and there was one screw missing.
And ebay's description was as mint and tested!

It took me an hour to open it up and put things back correctly. The last step is to adust the lens.

Get in touch with Peter, I have gotten his own precious FED-atlas. He could not transform this piece of crap into a candy but at least it does work as good as it gets. I was not terribly impressed with it. And good grief you are not writing in ancient Greek

Уважаемые ЧКД!

Я внимательно перечитал все посты Никоса из Афин и просмотрел
его фото на Фликре.
Задний элемент объектива по-моему, никто не трогал!
Все винты на месте и даже краска на них цела.
Таким образом его проблема - правильно поставить объектив на место?
Я так понял что он не знает в какую сторону его крутить .
Насколько я помню Атлас,там надо аккуратно вставить и повернуть по-часовой стрелке.

( Просто полного настоящего ФЭДа-Атлас у меня сейчас нет, а есть
сборная солянка из ФЭД-10 и верхней крышки Атласа,но всё настроено и работает )

У кого есть ФЭД -Атлас и кто может подсказать, как правильно поставить объектив?

Здесь есть обзор камер ФЭД-10/Атлас ЧКД risk_2000.


Если не найдется владельца такой камеры, остается автору самостоятельно пробовать установить объектив на место и провести настройку дальномера при снятой верхней крышке камеры.

In fact, FED-Atlas is a fixed lens camera.
You must not disconnect lens from camera. It causes rangefinder disadjustment.
Curiously, if you need to adjust the rangefinder, you must disassemble the camera top.

Hi Peter,
The photos are just from flickr from another's Fed Atlas. In my Fed I had discovered that:
1. The previous owner had the lens dissasembled and put the aperture blades in the wrong way.
2. That index ring that guides the aperture from fully open to fully closed was placed upside down (!!!). Apparently with the blades not closing he could not turn the lens.
3. There is one screw missing from the element on top of the blades (there are only two screws).

What I did now is:
1. I have opened the lens.
2. Spend two hours figuring out how to properly place the aperture blades.
3. Put all things back by using that photo on flickr as a reference (I wish that lens was mine ).
4. Mounted the lens with all set at that position as in the photo.

It looks that everything is o.k. now, but how about focus? Is there a correct depth to which I should screw in the inner tube of the lens?



In the lessons of ancient Greek I was out playing ball with my friends I have to confess that I was not the best student in my class. My mind was always far away...

In your signature Set camera FED TSVVS. Can display its image, just wondering

Sure! I will take photos this weekend and post them.

Nikos72!

Я всё-таки далее напишу для Вас по-русски,чтобы точно
выразить свои мысли.
Вам придется потрудиться с переводом самому....

Итак:
- Я понял ,что фото на Фликре были для Вас просто как эталон
и Вы не показывавали реальные фото Вашего объектива
- Вы уже собрали правильно диафрагму и поставили
задний линзоблок
-Вы уже присоединили объектив к корпусу камеры и
теперь Вам нужно правильно настроить Ваш АТЛАС....


Тогда Ваши дальнейшие действия:
1.Проверьте обязательно бесконечность при открытом
затворе по матовому стеклу на направляющих кадрового окна.
Если всё ОК- двигаемся дальше.
Если бесконечности нет, ищем причину- где неправильно собрано.

2.Если бесконечность есть,желательно ( но не обязательно) проверить
соответствие шкалы расстояний реальной фокусировке по матовому стеклу.
3.Далее настраиваем дальномер:
- начинаем со сведения пятна по вертикали,
далее сводим дальномер на бесконечности,
и проверяем всё время по- матовому стеклу и совпадению пятна на
10 м, на 3 м и на 1 м.

Я делаю так....
Удачи!

Thank you very much Peter!
I'll do this as soon as I get home.

Thank you very much for dealing with me,
Nikos.

You are welcome !

Hi, I did not forget you. I just had no chance of taking photos this weekend. I will try to do so tomorrow if I get away from work early.



Hi Peter,
Now it is perfect! A million thanks for your invaluable help. Here it is, all in place, lightmeter does not work, but who cares:
