Wrong FED-2 rangefinder

[lddani]

Hi everybody.

I have a FED-2 camera, and the rangefinder is wrong. How do I get a new one? In Hungary, unfortunately this component is unavailable.

Thanks.

Hello lddani, you won't find a new rangefinder, but you can probably adjust it - it might be something very small which needs adjusting. Here is a lot of information on the FED: http://jay.fedka.com/

An obvious question: in what way is it wrong? If it's simply that the images will not line up or it does not agree with the true distance, these are things that are adjustable.

In the finder, I see two point. If the distance in the objective is set correctly up, the two points turn into one point. In my camera, this function doesn't work correctly.

Does the reflected image move in the viewfinder at all, or is it not matching up to the distance scale?

Welcome to the Forum! Szia lldani!

If it is really broken, the best idea is to buy another one. At least you'll have a bunch of replacement parts...

You can send me a PM! (írhatsz magyarul is... 😉)
