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.
