What is a good, appropriate Russian portrait length lens to go on the FED-1?
I have a Canon 100/2 for my 7s/0.95 combo....Do the russians have anything similar in the 100mm range?
And, how about speed? What is a reasonably fast russian lens for this body?
One major thing I forgot to mention when fitting other lenses - make sure any lens that you try has a full-circle RF cam on it. Some non-FSU ones didn't and they can hang up on the RF sensor. Once mounted it's not possible to remove them again from a bottom-loading FSU! I'm not sure which lenses these are had but it's a known issue...DrLeoB said:Thanks for the advice, I am now starting the hunt...
Was easily able to screw my Summarit 50/1.5,Canon 100/2 and Nokton 50/1.5 on and smoothly focus with all so I guess I got lucky with the threads, although, I did get A LOT of crud out of them when I cleaned them.
My "Fedoshka" is looking fine.
Looks a nice example, it's a FED 1g. Interestingly it's the only FED with a locking shutter-release (and the Zorki 1 was the only Zorki without it!). You shouldn't have any particular focussing issues since the later ones were (supposedly) standardised, I believe. Just beware the circular cam issue with any lenses you try on this, since it's a bottom loader!DrLeoB said:I like this look, lens fits easily and looks nice.

Nice starters! Yes, they'll all interchange and should give no problems. You may find the I-26m and I-61 L/D have lousy focussing unless they've been re-lubed. All six of mine needed it, badly!mike goldberg said:Hi All...
This is a great Thread to be "Stickyed."
I have a Fed-2c in the mail from Oleg, having been CLA'd, and a Zorki-4 is waiting
for me at the PO. Lenses for checking them out include an excellent Fed 50/3.5 Collapsible, I-26m, I-61 l/d and the lovely Jupiter 8, 50/2. A recently arrived J-12, 35/2.8 is as yet untested.
Do I assume correctly that these lenses will work OK on the Fed-2c and Z4?
Thanks, Mike
