Embrace the rugged charm of Soviet engineering with this authentic Revue 3 Rangefinder Camera. This model is a fascinating piece of photographic history; it is a rebranded FED-3 (Type b), produced by the FED factory in Ukraine and exported to Western Europe under the "Revue" brand for the Foto-Quelle department stores. Combining the reliability of the classic Leica-inspired rangefinder design with 1960s functionalism, the Revue 3 is a robust, all-manual machine that captures the essence of analog photography. Key Benefits Historical Hybrid: A unique example of Cold War-era trade, where high-quality Soviet optics and mechanics were exported to the West under a different name. Robust All-Metal Build: Known for its heavy-duty construction, this camera offers a substantial, tactile feel that modern plastic cameras simply cannot replicate. Coupled Rangefinder: Features a bright, integrated viewfinder and rangefinder for precise manual focusing, perfect for street photography and portraits. Exceptional Value: Offers a fully mechanical, interchangeable lens experience similar to high-end European rangefinders but at a fraction of the cost, making it ideal for students and collectors alike. Features Camera Type: 35mm coupled rangefinder camera. Lens: Equipped with the sharp Industar-61 (I-61) 2.8/52 prime lens, famous for its lanthanum radioactive glass elements that provide excellent contrast and resolution. Shutter: Horizontal cloth focal-plane shutter with an expanded speed range from 1 second to 1/500 second, plus B (Bulb). Film Advance: Features the modern rapid-wind lever on the top plate, a significant ergonomic improvement over the earlier knob-wind FED models. Mount: Standard L39 (M39) Leica Thread Mount, allowing for a vast world of interchangeable vintage lenses. Self-Timer: Integrated mechanical self-timer located on the front of the body. Condition Rated 4/5. This camera is in excellent cosmetic condition. The matte satin finish on the top and bottom plates is remarkably clean, and the black textured vulcanite wrap is fully intact and tight. The "Revue 3" and "Made in USSR" engravings remain sharp and clear. The Industar-61 lens glass appears well-preserved with a clear aperture and smooth focusing ring. Mechanically, the film advance lever and shutter release function with a crisp, solid action. While the camera appears to be in great working order, the shutter speed accuracy and light-tightness are untested. It is sold as a professional-grade collectible or display piece.
