 Another of my posts to the classic  camera collectors' FB page.

This is my Fed 5b rangefinder purchased as used in the 1990s. I have taken some very nice photos with its Industar F2.8/55 lens. Feds started as Leica copies but gradually assumed a form and life of their own.

The blinder broke  a few years back, but I hope to get that fixed. The build quality is quite good, much  better than in any of the Zenit SLRs I have used. I like the camera’s simple ergonomics and the solid feel. Focusing is very easy.

This is a photo of what used to be the biggest public space in Colombo, the Galle Face Green, taken with this camera before the port city project started.
