Hi there,
About a 1,5 years ago I have bought this little Fed for my collection. It was in fully working condition when I got it but I still had it CLA`d for using purposes. The camera has been used with 2-5 rolls ( can`t really remember ), and then put on the shelf with all my other cameras. Not that long ago I`ve received another fed like this one, but in even better condition and decided to part with an extra one.
So the camera is in wonderful condition. All shutter speeds work wonderfully. Rangefinder is accurate, viewfinder is bright and clear. Film wind up and rewind mechanisms work properly. Cameras cosmetical condition is wonderful. It`s not every day you find a camera of that age and of such good looks. No heavy marks of use are visible on the body. There are no dents , scratches only the color of the vulcanite has faded a little.
As for the lens I can say that it is near mint. It has also been CLA`d. Focus is nice and smooth, aperture movement is stiffer. Glasses are very nice and clean. Only the usual amount of dust is visible under heavy light. Cosmetically the lens is perfect.
Camera comes with an original leather case, which is also very nicely kept, and an original bakelite front lens cap, that has "FED" written on it.
This little fed has been made in ~ 1954-1955. According to Sovietcams.com it is from the last batch of Fed-1 series and is the G type PE0230 variation camera. It`s not exactly what you call a rare camera, but finding on in this condition is no easy
task.
I`m asking 125$ for the camera. I know that this is a hefty sum,but you get a jewel for your money. I ship world wide. Shipping to EU counties is 15$ and all other countries 22$.
As i mentioned before, I have used this camera. Here are some shots taken with it. All exposures where guessed and shot wide open. I`ve used an expired FujiFilm Superia 200 iso. These are cheap scans made in a local camera shop.
