an Industar 61 L/D on my Bessa R

[spiderfrank]

Hi everybody!
Last wednesday I found a Fed 5B with the lens in the title: I was interested to the lens, but it came with the camera, so I bought camera and lens (for a "pizza, bier and dessert" price, I couldn't say no)...
I put the lens on the Bessa, a BW roll, and went out to shoot: here you have some results
(now I'm testing the camera: the rangefinder was wrong at infinity, so fixed it, but I'm still a bit concerned about the short distances... )

I call this "bike & bra"

and this is "Blue eyes plastic lady" (ok it's b/w, you must trust me...)

the first rays of sun (I was going to work) - I think I need a hood -

"cleaning the beach"...

"the church"


End of the story 😉

Great photos!! Cleaning the beach is my favourite...Interesting for me as I also plan to use an Industar on a Bessa R.
How did you fix the Rangefinderproblem?
Greetings from Vienna!

Spider67, thank you for your comment!

rangefinder problem:
under the front plate of the Fed 5B there is a screw to register the rangefinder, search for the Matt Denton site to have detailed informations, it's very easy to do...

nice.. yesterday i was in similar situation. i'm searching for j-8 (i already have i-26m) and i spotted fed-5 with i61l/d... but i cooled myself and kept my money for jupiter that i still haven't found. now when i see your photos it makes me wanna buy that fed immediately..

cheers,

m.

ps: i don't hear plastic lady saying anything about the short distance focussing issues....

Misok, the shots are made using the Industar with the Bessa R, and I had no problem with that. My concerns are about the short focusing USING THE FED 5B, but I still must test it, it's just my impression, for now...

Thanks Franco!

Actually I thought that you fixed somehow the Bessa R rangefinder.
It was the first thing to do when I got my 5 B (V) (Thanks to Alfred Klomps great site)
If you ever visit Vienne just PM me.

if you have i26 - buy j8 first. in my opinion i26 and i61 are pretty similar - maybe i61 looks sharper because of greater contrast.

Gorgeous tones. I like the sharpness on your blue eyed lady

Lovely shots, very nice to see. I too think that the tonality of the Blue eyed "lady" is perfect.
