May 1st is ICCD (International Commie Camera Day)!

Wonderful photos from Ilya, Huss, and css9450. webOSUser, you did shoot some film in that FED2 this month, didn't you? Not too late to get them posted. Anytime will do.

Farlymac,

I will need to wait until the roll of C41 film in the camera processed. Thank you for the encouragement.

Glad you liked them, PF; this has been a fun thread! :)

Another from early May. This small-town theater is undergoing renovation. Wish I'd brought my screw-mount 28mm lens; it was a little touchy framing this with the clip-on viewfinder! I have a habit of cutting off one edge or another.

Some Spring time roses from where I work.
FED2 - FED 50mm/f3.5 lens - Fuji Fujicolor 200.
My offering for ICCD 2017. I picked up the processed films and scans from the local lab today.

Zorki 4K made me the coolest kid on the block back in the day. Still use it from time to time.
 
Some good results there, Steven, though they mangled that one scan. Which lens were you using on the FED?

Huss, you know what to do when they take away the Panic Button, don't you? You panic!

Farleymac,
Thank you. I was using my FED 50mm f3.5 Industar-10. I alternate between the I10 and the I26m that came with the camera.
 
Nice one je2a3 with that Kiev and Jupiter-8. I'm glad I finally got a J-8 for my Zorki's.

webOSUser, I bought an I-10 once, and it was 90° out of normal register with the camera I put it on. Seems some of the earlier FED's had a different registration scheme, and it later was corrected to what everyone else uses. Or there was a batch of lenses made wrong, so they made the cameras to match so as not to waste them, and making a new mount was cheaper than rebuilding the lenses. Remember, the lenses back then were matched to the bodies they were sold on, so it wasn't discovered for a long time after one bought the camera, and could get another lens to put on it.

The I-26 is one of my favorites, and I also have an I-22 that's pretty good, especially after I cleaned it out.

I have owned a couple of Russian cameras in my time. Sure its not International Crummy Camera Day? :^)
Or maybe my samples were made following the lunch time vodka break. Still the lenses could be OK - except for the one that had so many bubbles it looked like a bottle of fizzy pop.

PF,

I have been happy with the I-10 on the FED2. I believe that it is of post 'Great Patriotic War' (WWII) manufacture when flange to film distance was correct. The serial number is a little over 300K.

I haven't been able to see much difference between images shot with the I-10 and the I-26m.

I've uploaded a couple of pictures that I took with the I10. We went up to Creedmoor, NC on a Saturday in March this year and took some pictures of the town. I was using Ilford Delta 100 which I processed in HC110. The film was scanned was done with a Wolverine F2D scanner.
