Surprising FED 2-c


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have some FED-2 cameras, I never expected much of them.. but I

decided to try a red FED2c. Focusing is almost impossible. But the

optics (even fully open) is really sharp !

 

I took the FED2c to a presentation, the idea was that it is so quiet

that nobody would see me taking the picture. Ja! Its red color doesn't

help ! I guessed the expoure, 1/30 2.8, with fuji superia 100,

converted to BW:

That's pretty impressive for a wide-open shot. There are a lot of admirers of the Fed, Zorki and Kiev cameras in the Classic Cameras forum where the only real criterion for entry is pre-1970's construction. On the other hand, you can always tape a plastic lens or a pinhole in place of your Industar and hang out here.
