Arrived today refurbished FED 2 Lunokhod limited edition .. my over all impression of this camera is it looks very nice I would say 99/100 .. just a couple of slight flaws.. turning the focus ring is very tight and the rewind collar has a deep scratch.. but all things considered for the cameras age* I'm very happy.. and the eBay seller received positive feedback Colin

* question you the FED experts about what year would this camera be? with the solid speed dial I guess it would be early in the FED production.. maybe not!

All the Lunokhod cameras are fake.
Am I right?

I'm not sure if fake would be the correct word...it's more likely old camera that's been revamped as an commemorative edition.

Martti,

such cameras are not fakes, they was simply "new made" for the crazy camera-collectors, like us .
But you are right, they were never in the soviet camera-production.

Update on my camera.

No doubt about it.. looks very nice.. will make an excellent paper weight..

And as for taking photographs it's not that good! .. Oh well I wont make that mistake again!

I agree with Okynek. Just put a "modern" coated Industar 10 on this Fed 2 and try it.
As for the black Industar 61, it is first class on the right body: last Fed 2, 3, 4, 5... you have the choice!

Amitiés. Jacques.
PS: a pity you are too far: I have all that to sell!
