FED 2
Revision as of 15:06, 23 February 2005 by 216.78.180.15 (talk)
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 L/D instead of the Industar 26.
- FED 2e is a FED 3b with a FED 2d shutter. Production ended around 1970.
