Hello!

I had not realised that one of my Fed S had been cla-ed before I bought it. The rangefinder specially is perfect and has a better contrast that my Leica IIIg's.
I have put a 2/5cm wartime Sonnar on this Fed and the pleasure to shoot is great... Here are two pictures: thanks to this duo! (pictures without any aesthetic ambition: they are only trials).

No far from my home (my boat is not on the photo)

An old dam on a river. It will be destroyed within two years.

Amitiés. Jacques.

PS: this Sonnar is an "M" one, so precisely regulated for Russian cameras, contrarily to those with an "m", made for the Leicas.
