awww... you guys have been excellent! Thanks for the warm welcome and the advices given! I will certainly take them onboard! Especially, the one about using the FED the correct way...
I think there are strap lugs on the one i bought... My memory did see them on the picture.
Like a gateway drug eh? OMG! I can't really afford getting anymore cameras! Since i started shooting with old cameras like the spotmatic, i've bought several other old cameras since! -sigh-
I really love the sound of the shutter on these fellas! So pure and addictive compared to my 400D!

FED-2 with Industar 26M. Good lens that usually requires a relube to make it smoother.

Just noticed "Made in the USSR" around the shutter dial, which make this an export model, reportedly better made and with stricter quality control than Feds intended for domestic consumption.
