“ЗАВОД ИМ. ФЭ ДЗЕРЖИНСКОГО”.

- FED Body number 282856, lens F3,5-18 number 2180 on rear

The cameras have been inspected and checked for functionality.
The shutters work at all speeds, but the shutter curtains need replacement because of wrinkles or pinholes.
The rangefinders are reasonably accurate; one of them has vertical image misalignment.
The optics are in good condition, apertures work fine, and the lenses turn smoothly.
One of the lenses has a dull spot of approximately 2x2 mm (see picture with arrow).

Including 4 original leather cases and 1 original instruction manual.
