Posted - Sep 01 2007 : 01:25:06 AM It's about time someone came up with a cool site where we can brag on our FSU gear. I have a Fed 2 & a Fed 5. The Fed 5 gets a bad rap on being a ugly camera, but to me it's not so. The camera is in mint condition and the meter works fine. Last Christmas I took photos at a family gathering with it and used my canonet flash from my QL-17. Set the sync on 60 and it fired every time. I also have a Zorki 2c (some call it a 2s) and it's my favorite. I love to carry my Zorki and my Leningrad 6 light meter. Ya simply got to have a soviet light meter if your gonna carry a soviet camera around. I have a j-12 and a j-3 as well as the industar 61 lenses. The Zorki is a 1958. One year older than me. That camera came with a I-50? I think thats right. It's a 50/3.5. A great lens. Thats about it. I'm a shooter not a collector but I love my fsu's.

Welcome to the forum! I think the FED 5 is a nice looking camera too, so at least there are two of us. I have several but haven't used them yet. Looking foward to seeing some of your photographs.

Posted - Sep 01 2007 : 10:37:00 AM Welcome Greg, great to have you here! Soon we will have FSU camera photo contests, so stick around! I think that's where the most camera users will have their fun... The module is work in progress. So there will be something for someone. :) Meanwhile feel free to roam around the site and participate in discussions.
