AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Early FED-2 (Type 1b) Rangefinder Camera + Collapsible FED 50mm f/3.5 Lens & Original Cap + Case – Fully Working – NO RESERVE
Up for auction is a beautiful, early production FED-2 (Type 1b) 35mm rangefinder camera in fully operational condition, paired with the classic collapsible FED 50mm f/3.5 lens (Industar-10 formula). Produced in the mid-1950s by the FED factory in Kharkiv (USSR), this early variant features the distinct red-filled Cyrillic engravings, wide rangefinder base, and clean front plate without a self-timer.
An exceptional collector’s piece and a fully functional shooter for vintage analog photography enthusiasts.
Condition & Technical Inspection:
Mechanical Status: Fully working. The shutter winds smoothly and fires accurately across all speeds (1/25s to 1/500s) as well as on Bulb ('B') mode.
Shutter Curtains: Light-tight, clean, and flexible without pinholes, brittleness, or excessive wear.
Viewfinder & Rangefinder: The viewfinder is clear; the rangefinder patch contrasts well and aligns horizontally. Diopter adjustment ring operates smoothly.
Lens (FED 50mm f/3.5 Collapsible): Glass elements are clean and transparent, free from fungus or deep scratches. Aperture blades move correctly. Collapsible barrel locks securely into position.
Cosmetics: In very clean vintage condition. Chrome top and bottom plates are well preserved. Minor, natural paint rub wear along the rear door edges from handling, consistent with age.
Included in the Lot:
FED-2 Camera Body (Serial No: 165851)
Collapsible FED 50mm f/3.5 Lens (M39 screw mount)
Original red-logo FED metal front slip-on lens cap
Original heavy-duty brown leather ever-ready case (ERC) with embossed FED-2 logo
Shipping:
The camera will be packaged with extreme care, multi-layer bubble wrap, and shipped in a sturdy cardboard box with tracking and insurance.
