Industar-22 on a Fed-2?

[cmedin]

Will an Industar-22 (collapsible) work on a Fed-2 without any issues, or does it depend on the individual lens/camera?

It might not fit. What you need is FED 50/3.5 collapsible, without the classic button infinity lock. The I-22 and I-50 were intended for Zorkis, which have the lens mount sticking about 2mm from the front plate, while FEDs have the lens mount in level with the front plate. AFAIK.

I've used a I-22 on my Fed 2 without any problems. The combination looks very nice too 🙂

There is also a collapsible Fed 3,5/50 lens for the Fed 2. Collapsible Fed lenses made for the Fed 1 do not fit on my other FSU rangefinders, the infinity lock presses against the vulcanite.

So would the safe bet be the Industar-10 then? Is that the exact same as the Fed 3.5/50?

I've collapsed I-50s on my FED 2 without any problems save one. The infinity lock scratches the vulcanite as it's too close to the body.

My FED 2 is an early-ish one, with the flash socket on the body and the plain wind knob. I't won't take any collapsibles because the infinity button fouls the body; the lens mount is almost flush.

That's what I meant... but it seems that there are some versions that can take the I-22 and I-50.

Industar 50 works great on my late Fed2
