FED 5!
The FED 5 (often marked in Cyrillic, with several variations of font, ФЭД 5 or фэд 5 ) is a 35mm rangefinder camera, produced by the FED factory in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov from 1977 until 1990. It has interchangeable lenses, fitted with a Leica-type M39 screw thread. It features an uncoupled selenium light meter with a single range of sensitivity. It came equipped with the Industar-61 L/D 53mm f/2.8 standard lens incorporating the rare-earth element lanthanum and a focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1s to 1/500s + B, flash sync up to 1/30s and a self-timer.
The FED 5 is updated from the 4, with cleaner lines to the top, a pop-up rewind knob in place of the thumb-wheel, a hot shoe, restyled film reminder/frame counter and meter rings, and the meter scale repositioned and converted from a match-needle to an EV-scaled device where the user manually transfers the meter reading to the calculator.
