I have noticed that an E Krauss recently sold on eBay looks very alike. Could you provide me with some infomation about this one?

lens has been adopted for LTM, mount is from russian FED/Industar. I wonder if lens can focus correctly accross the whole distance range; if the helicoid pitch from Industar fits the characteristic of Kraus.

@Luigi - thx for the appreciation but no, I could not do it without having some parts from a donor (original Leica)

Yeah I have noticed that as well. But what about my Tesser then? Thanks.

Back to the Snider, I have one but with a Schneider 35mm f=2,8 lens non collapsible.

The name was a play on Schneider, Mr Gardner and Mr Salmon had a sense of humour but could only sell

about 60 cameras of the 90 imported, A friend here interviewed them before they died. The other 30 went to the tip.

The total known is higher than 3. George Eastman House has one, I have one and I know of a. couple of others in Sydney

But they are uncommon, They were made by Nicca and work as well as my Nicca 3, 

cheers

Great useful info, and I think my Xenon together with yours will make it a full set then  

I contacted the guy sold it to me again and asked for more info, he told me he inherited it from his father in law and could provide with no additional  information.
