Hello!

I found this camera (see link at the bottom of the post) which I bought. I really liked the design, I suspect it is a fake, however. What do you think? Was it a waste it of money? Has anyone seen these before?

Hopefully it works decently at least.

Hello!

It is not a fake: no Fed 2 "Sputnik" was ever made...
Certainly, each of us has a modified and "improved" camera, like this one. As for me, I have a golden Leica II, with a wooden belt and the 1/1000th (on the button!). In fact, a Fed 1f...

On our shelves, only black and chrome, it's a bit tiring...

Amitiés. Jacques.

It is the same seller, who have made for us a memorable Zorki "5 Years USSRPhoto".

Thanks for your reply.

Is it really a FED-2 then and not a copy? How come it says ФЭD-FED on the front, while the "normal" FED-2 says ФЭD-2?
