Bought a FED 2

[gb hill]

Here is one that I shot on a black J-12 on my Zorki 2 (sorry) I need to run a roll through my Fed 2. It's been awhile. Kodak BW400CN.

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.

Enjoy your russian iron !

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.
