[photo-3d] Sputnik and FED questions...

[efbaskin@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Sputnik: On the Sputnik, the aperture settings go from f4.5 to f22.  
I've noticed that there's room to make the aperture even smaller past 
f22.  Has anyone ever measured or calibrated this?  It seems to me 
that while I'm looking at the aperture shrink while I'm going past 
f22, that there's enough of a difference to set my exposures as if I 
were setting them for f32 or f44.  Has anyone ever tried this?

FED:  At the end of a 36 exposure roll of film, I've noticed that 
around number 18 or 19 (out of 21 stereo pairs), sometimes the film 
won't wind.  It's almost as if the torque required to turn the spool 
that pulls the film is too much for the gears to handle, and they 
slip.  Does anyone know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it? 
 I've read about this problem before, but didn't see a fix for it.

Also, I'm looking to buy a Sputnik and a FED stereo that I can use for 
experimentation and parts.  If anyone has either or both of these 
cameras in inoperable, unfixable or unsellable condition, please let 
me know.  I'm interested in buying one of each.

Thanks,
Edwin
