I know it's outside the Kiev Konviction , but I am in a positon to buy a mint boxed Fed 5c with meter tested with film .

I like selenium meters !

Ok , it's not elegant , but seems to include all that I would need , so I am tempted .

Any thoughts ?
 
I like the FED5 pretty well. If you're tempted and the price isn't too high, and you're confident in the seller, why not?

I think I paid about $25 for mine and everything works. Small viewfinder but speed are accurate and the thing works well.
 
I'm offering another "go for it!" vote. I purchased one from Segey (blyatnikov) on the big auction site last year to use as my "always in the car" camera.... After correcting a shutter-bounce issue, this camera has (and still is!) serving my needs very well. "It ain't pretty..." but it gets the job done.

.... In fact, I've been known to swipe the I-61 LD lens off of it on occasion to take some crispy shots on my Fed2 and Fed3 cameras...
