G'day,
I was wondering how much a FED 2 usaly sells for? Ive found one which is a later model with the selftimer and has a Industar-26M (50mm f/2.8) lens on it and a mushroom wind on knob. The lens should fit on my Bessa R being an LTM mount but please correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers

Depends on condition and seller - you can get them starting around 20 USD (without postage) from Ukrainian sellers, but even from very reliable sources I wouldn't expect a lot more than 50 USD...
The lens will fit on the Bessa R, but chances are that wide open and at close distances focus will be off a bit (actual focus will be a few inches behind what you focussed on), due to different standard focal lengths of 'real' LTM lenses and Russian ones based on Zeiss designs for the Contax. However, stopped down a bit and at not so close distances, you won't notice.

Ah cool 
Sounds a resonable price to me. Dosnt matter if the lense is slightly off, ive been trying out hyperfocal stuff. Chances are I will not use it on the R anyway, but get a nice 50mm CV lense and use the FED 2 as a backup camera. If I win that is. I stupidly bidded 2 days too early Cheers for the info
