My first Fed 2 photos

[optikhit]

Weeks ago I got my first Fed2d w/I-26M lens. Now the first roll has been out and here I give some example photos.

You most certainly got a good one! - and richly deserved after the disappointment with the Kiev. I absolutely love the fourth shot - the diners against the window; beautiful in itself, it suggests so many stories...

regards, Ian

Wow...sharp, elegant, inspiring...yes, you've got a little sweetheart in that lens. Congratulations!

"You most certainly got a good one!"

And I would add that the FED got a most capable handler as well. You two will make a good pair. Those are very enjoyable shots. 😎

Great pics! Looks like you did get a good one. I hope mine is as nice!

Thanks a lot guys. Yes, the lens is very nice and in great form. I like Fed2's small body which fits well my palm.
Hi, Ian, you still remember my Kiev story? Oh, the Kiev 4AM now is also in a great condition. I have taken another roll after I "repared" it myself. 🙂 The results were also good enough.

Best regards. Shutian

Great shots Optikhit! I love the Fed 2 and your Industar looks pretty sharp. Shot 4 is my favourite..

I am so glad you posted those pictures. My " new " FED2 d has the exact same lens and your picture # 4 is exquisite, I love the OOF in front of your subject and the OOF area behind the subjext is so wonderful - creamy and smooth. You did a great job.
Tony 🙂

Nice shots Optikhit. I think the I-26m is an underrated lens.

Nice shots Optikhit. I think the I-26m is an underrated lens.

The I-26 is a Tessar; been around over 100 years so a guess not too many people knock a Tessar. Beautiful pictures, a match for any 50 year old Elmar (also a Tessar). Classic
