Description from the seller
Splendid and exclusive lot composed of three Soviet FED-5B rangefinder cameras, originally produced to celebrate the Moscow Olympic Games of 1980. This lot represents a perfect union of Cold War photography history, sports collecting, and contemporary graphic reinterpretation.
Each body preserves the iconic official Moscow 80 logo engraved on the front and the original factory marks on the back (including the famous Soviet quality seal CCCP). The true peculiarity of this lot lies in the refined re-styling work ("Heritage Revamping & CLA") curated by the Materia Analogica laboratory: the original black leatherette, often hardened or damaged by time, has been replaced with exceptional high‑quality artistic coatings with constructivist and celebratory themes.
The 3 models included in the lot:
Model Olimpico Atleti (White Background): Characterized by a dynamic pattern on a cream background depicting athletes (runners, archers) and the Olympic flame in the Moscow colors of orange, blue, and gold.
Model Propaganda e Sport (Red/Multicolor Background): A vibrant, saturated collage of vintage Soviet posters, red stars, hammer and sickle, Cyrillic historical inscriptions (CCCP, SPORT) and emblems of labor and hockey.
Model Pattern Costruttivista (Geometries of Avant-garde): Coating inspired by the graphics and architectures of Soviet modernism and constructivism from the 70s/80s, with concentric red arches and green/gold geometric accents.
Technical Specifications
Manufacturer: FED (Kharkiv, USSR)
Base Model: FED-5B (ФЭД-5В) - Special Olympic Edition
Original production year: circa 1979-1980
Camera Type: Rangefinder 35mm
Included Lens: Industar-61 L/D 2.8/53mm (or 55mm) with Lanthanide treatment (noted for exceptional sharpness and contrast rendering).
Timing/Shutter speeds: From 1s to 1/500s + Bulb.
Lot Condition
Aesthetics: Excellent / Custom Mint. The new coatings are hand-applied and give the cameras an incredible visual impact when displayed.
Mechanical & Optics: The shutters fire at all speeds, the viewfinders are sharp and aligned, the Industar-61 lens elements are clean and free from significant scratches or fungus. No scientific measuring tools have been used.
Shipping and Packaging
The lot will be packed with maximum protective care to preserve the finishes and the cameras’ integrity. Fast, fully trackable shipping across Europe.
