FED 2 with Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 – Soviet 35mm Rangefinder with Leica Thread Mount
The FED 2 is a classic Soviet 35mm rangefinder camera, produced between the 1950s and 1970s. Built with a solid metal body and a Leica Thread Mount (LTM 39mm), it combines rugged construction with mechanical simplicity. This version comes paired with the Jupiter-8 50mm f/2, a sharp and characterful Sonnar-type lens known for its beautiful rendering and smooth bokeh. The FED 2 offers a longer rangefinder base than its predecessor, allowing for more precise manual focusing.
