Photos from new FED-2 (thanks jcmd) ...

... with I-26 and I-61, Ferrania 100, Walgreens processing/scanning to CD. All shots handheld with shutters speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/500. This FED-2 that I got in a trade with jcmd does not leak light, the film runs true on the guides, the shutter has a nice soft schtick, no shutter-capping and the I-26 that came with it is a good one, as you can see from these pics from a test roll. Gosh, a CLA'd FED does wonders ...

Nice shots! Good work with your Fed-2! I especially like the one of the plant by the water's edge, with the single stalk standing alone against the scenery.

I quite like my Fed-2 also. It's a great little camera and fun to use.

I'm glad to hear you finally got a good working one. Love the shot with the single stalk against the scenery and the one with the chair/leaves. Congrats!

Paul, nice work. Enjoy the new Fed in good health. About a pic of the camera, too?

Thank you all. This appears to be the solution to my need for a solid LTM body. Maybe a photo tomorrow of the kit ...

Nice photos Paul. Both lenses look sharp. They made quite a varible range of Fed 2's. I had a link that showed which varation fed 2 one had by the serial #'s. Quite interesting.

Thank you, Greg.

Paul, very nice shot!

I love my Fed-2 with I-26: Fed-2 and Zorki-1 are my favorites FSU...

Thank you much, Luigi.
I am joyful with the trade. The I-26 is a very handsome lens ...
