Rare? and Expensive Fed

[Horus113]

Being new to the rangefinder, and particularly FSU rangefinder game, I found this auction item interesting - mostly for the price. Stumbled upon it while trying to find a used copy of Princelle's Soviet Camera book on Half.com.

This isn't a FED. It's a Leningrad camera. Has a spring-wound motor that allow shooting about 15 frames but you must push the button for each exposure. Has a glass pressure plates. Has a wonderful viewfinder but the viewfinder also tends to fall apart as they get older. It's a complicated camera to load and if you ever use the self-timer when the shutter isn't cocked, the timer will never work again. Neat camera but more for display than use
