Posted - Sep 11 2022 : 08:52:29 AM I plan on using it with only very wide angle lens from 24mm down to 12mm -- probably, mostly my compact Vivitar 19mm -- so focusing is not an issue, and neither are very slow speeds. I'll upload a photo when it's ready.

Posted - Sep 11 2022 : 07:18:14 AM Its really a poor man's FED 2 as that is what the camera it is based on. No rangefinder so you will have to estimate the distance or fit an accessory shoe rangefinder. You may struggle a bit with telephoto focussing without the rangefinder, otherwise it should perform as a FED 2 would do. No slow speeds of course :)
