The FED 2 is a new design that is quite different from the FED 1. It has a longer rangefinder base (67mm), a combined viewfinder and rangefinder window, adjustable diopter for the viewing window, a self-timer, and a detachable back for film-loading.
There are six models.
- FED 2a was introduced in 1955.
- FED 2b has flash sync added. The new shutter speed dial has the reference point on a center post that rotates with the dial as the shutter is fired.
- FED 2c has the flash sync port moved to the top deck from the body. It also has a mushroom-shaped film rewind knob.
- FED 2d has a new set of shutter speeds, from 1/30 to 1/500, instead of the older set of 1/25 to 1/500.
- FED 2L is the only factory-designated model number. The body is identical to the FED 2d body but the lens supplied is an Industar 61 with Lanthane glass instead of the Industar 26 used in models 2b to 2d.
- FED 2e is a FED 3b with a FED 2d shutter. Similar to the FED 3b, it does not have strap lugs but has an film advance lever. Production ended around 1970.
