Revue 3 (FED-3 Type b) + Industar-61 52mm f/2.8 - Reliable Soviet RangefinderThe Revue 3 is a rebadged version of the Soviet FED-3, imported and sold by the West German retailer Foto-Quelle under the "Revue" brand. Produced at the FED plant in Kharkiv, Ukraine, during the mid-1960s, this is the "Type b" model, characterized by its integrated film advance lever rather than the older winding knob. Known for its robust, all-metal construction and its wide range of shutter speeds, the FED-3/Revue 3 is a workhorse rangefinder that offers a more refined experience than the earlier Zorki or FED models. Paired with the legendary Industar-61 (N-61) lens—the first Soviet mass-produced lens to use lanthanum glass—this kit is celebrated for its incredible sharpness and high contrast.Key BenefitsLanthanum Optics: Equipped with the Industar-61 lens, famous for its "Radioactive" lanthanum glass that provides exceptional resolution and micro-contrast.Expanded Shutter Range: Unlike many basic rangefinders, it offers a full range of speeds from 1s to 1/500s, including a dedicated slow-speed dial.M39 Universal Mount: Uses the standard Leica Screw Mount ($M39$), allowing the use of a wide array of Soviet and European vintage glass.FeaturesCamera Type: 35mm Rangefinder CameraLens: Industar-61 (N-61) $52\text{mm}$ f/2.8 (Serial No. 7414841)Lens Mount: M39 (LSM - Leica Screw Mount)Shutter: Cloth focal-plane shutter, speeds from 1s to 1/500s plus Bulb (B)Focusing: Coupled rangefinder with diopter adjustment on the viewfinderFilm Advance: Top-mounted rapid winding leverBody: Satin chrome finish with black textured vulcanite-style coveringConditionCosmetic (Rated 4/5): The camera is in excellent aesthetic condition. The chrome top plate is bright and the "Revue 3" engraving is crisp. The black covering is fully intact and shows very minimal wear.Optical: The Industar-61 lens is clear. Lanthanum glass is prone to slight yellowing over decades (which actually aids in black and white contrast), but no fungus or deep scratches are visible. The rangefinder patch is visible and aligns well.Mechanical: The shutter fires across the speed range. The film advance lever is smooth, and the rangefinder focusing is functional. The self-timer appears to operate correctly.Note: This camera is sold as a professional collectible. While mechanically sound, it has not been film-tested for absolute shutter timing or light-tightness.What's IncludedRevue 3 Camera BodyIndustar-61 $52\text{mm}$ f/2.8 LensOriginal Brown Leather Ever-Ready Case (Soviet manufacture, showing vintage patina)Why This Product?The Revue 3 is the perfect entry point for those looking to experience the tactile joy of rangefinder photography without the Leica price tag.
