170353 Geodeziya FAG Model. 2. %u20ac20.000*with GOI 3.5/5 cm no. 33, 1933, condition A/B %u20ac 40.000 %u2013 50.000Extremely rare second version FAG camera with interchangeable M40 screw mount, fitted with a GOI 3.5/5 cm prototype lens in chrome finish. This camera originates from the design department of the State Optical Institute (GOI), where during this period various lenses for 35 mm rangefinder cameras such as VOOMP, FAG, and the first FED models were being developed. The body bears serial number 33, stamped both on the body shell and on the base plate. The lens is marked with the same number on the mount. The camera is in excellent original condition and fully functional.352 FED TSVVS pre-series %u20ac5.000c.1948, condition A/B %u20ac 8.000 %u2013 10.000A very rare pre-series / prototype example of the FED TSVVS camera, distinguished by the complete absence of any engravings or markings on the top plate%u2014an important feature identifying itas an early experimental variant preceding regular production. Produced in very limited numbers around 1949%u20131950, the TSVVS is among the most unusual Soviet rangefinder designs, combining a Leica-type body with a Contax bayonet mount. These cameras aregenerally believed to have been intended for military or institutionaluse, reflecting a transitional phase in post-war Soviet camera development. The present prototype example is fitted with a Carl Zeiss Sonnar 1.5/5 cm lens, no. 3051745, in keeping with early configurations using high-quality German optics.354 GOI f. M42 MIR-32 2.5/24 mm %u20ac4.000*prototype no. 73071, 1972, condition A/B %u20ac 8.000 %u2013 10.000A rare GOI prototype wide-angle lens, the MIR-32 24 mm, developed in 1972 for the Zenit-E with M42 mount. This lens represents one of the earliest Soviet attempts at a 24 mm focal length, a specification that never entered series production in the USSR. The MIR-32 designation is known exclusively from GOI prototypes, making this lens exceptionally rare. Notably, it features a remarkably short minimum focusing distance of just 15 cm, offering unique creative potential. The lens is in good condition, with smooth focusing, and comes paired with a Zenit-E camera, forming a rare and historically significant set.SOVIET CAMERAS AND LENSES355 GOI Industar-70 2.8/50 mm %u20ac6.000*OB327A prototypeno. 7265, 1972, condition B/A %u20ac 12.000 %u2013 14.000Prototype lens released by GOI in 1972 for M39 FED/Zorki mount. Focal length 4.7 cm, angular field 46%u00b0, focusing range from 0.8 m to infinity. The aperture is controlled by an external metal strip with round holes of varying diameters, an unusual solution differing from conventional iris constructions. We have very limited information about this model. According to our research, a similar lens bearing serial number 7260 existed under the designation Industar-71. The present example may therefore represent a closely related or transitional prototype. Despite the similarity in name, this lens is technically and constructionally dissimilar to the Industar-70 lens used on the Sokol camera. A rare and little-documented GOI prototype.
