FED-2 HEAVY CAMERA The Soviet FED rangefinder program started during WWII as a response to the German Leica - both to boost internal Russian industry, and because embargo's forbade sale or trade of German product during the war. The FED-2 is an awesome rangefinder camera. Not quite the quality of the Leica, these cameras are cheap and plentiful making them fun to collect in all their variants. These cameras are great for those getting into film street photography and are distinctively durable as is to be expected from a Soviet design. Interesting fact: there is a common (wrong) belief that these cameras were the product of child labour. That's because the factory the FEDs came from is named the same as its former life as an orphanage.
