====== FED 2 ====== ---- dataentry camera ---- name : FED 2 make : FED model : FED 2 system : Rangefinder mount : LTM M39 format : 35mm Film type : Film Rangefinder condition : Good notes : Soviet rangefinder ---- {{gear:cameras:camera_fed2.jpg?400}} The FED 2 is a Soviet rangefinder produced in Kharkov, Ukraine from 1955 to 1970. Like the Zorki, it is derived from the Leica II design and accepts L39 mount lenses. The FED factory was originally established in a children's labour commune, giving the cameras their name — Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret police. It's a refined and pleasant rangefinder to use, with a longer rangefinder base than the FED 1 for improved focus accuracy. Also relatively small and feel good to use.
