I have a bunch of them.  They are FED or Zorki cameras with faked Leica 
engraving.  They vary a lot in quality depending on the condition of 
the camera before the fakers worked on it, and whether they did any 
cleaning and lube work.  One that I got from russiansouvenirs.com  is 
as smooth as the real thing and takes great pictures.  Another one was 
put together so poorly that the whole lens mount fell off!  Basically, 
it depends on who you buy from.
