"New" Fed 4 Olympic

[AshenLight]

Hi all,

I just received a Fed 4 Olympic (Type 2) with an Industar 61L/D from larssel on *bay. The camera and lens are in excellent shape and the meter seems to be working well checked against a Sekonic.

My question is this, based on what I've seen on various websites, the Olympic version of this camera is described as having Cyrillic lettering while the camera I have has both Cyrillic and Latin lettering. Not that this is a big deal in any way, but I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has or has seen an Olympic Fed 4 like this?

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

Ash

Never seen an Olympic 4, but the 5 was often so marked, especially the 5B. There were other Olympic models too, so I doubt it's rare. I was quite surprised how well the meter works and isn't overly affected by sunshine on the camera front etc.

Thanks for the responses. Mine kind of looks like a hybrid between the Type-2 Olympic and the Type 2 (Variant 2) with the Cyrillic and Latin lettering on the webpage Pitxu posted. I can't wait to run a roll through it. I might use BW400CN and get it developed right away since I doubt I get any quality darkroom time until after tomorrow.
