Picked up a Ukrainian made FED 2 for just $1.25. It’s in perfect cosmetic condition, and everything appears to work as it should. Just waiting on some 35 mm film to give it a test run.

Looks like the #FED5 #rangefinder needs a few more adjustments, but it's closer!

A tall view of snow-covered pines with a cloudy sky and a bit of fog
At the very least, the #FED5 survived the cold today. We'll see how off the rangefinder is once I shoot the rest of the roll.

In preparation for the #shittycamerachallenge let's see if I can fix this rangefinder

🐵 "A Photo with the Monkey" (Fujifilm Fuji Eterna + D76) The Smena family, assembled. And suddenly — a monkey. Like in old photo attractions: a touch of circus, a hint of magic, a wink of irony. But the cameras still see. And so does she. A group portrait of four generations of Soviet scale-focus cameras “Smena”: the first, the third, the sixth, and the especially rare ninth. These models are more than devices — they are legends of mass photography, which made image-making accessible to everyone. Focusing was always “by eye” — using the distance scale on the lens, where the photographer chose: one meter, three, five, or infinity. This was the philosophy of the Smena: trust your own vision. And though their bodies belong to the last century, they are still alive. They still shoot. And the images they’ve captured will be shown soon. Technical Credits: Location: Moscow, somewhere between nostalgia and bark chips Camera: Canon EOS 5 Lens: Canon Zoom Lens EF 70–210 mm Film: Fujifilm Fuji Eterna (exact type unknown, heavily expired Exposure: Rated at ISO 100 Development: Kodak D-76, 7 minutes Scanner: Fujifilm Frontier SP-3000 (no corrections applied) Date: 15 September 2018 Notes: Storage conditions of the film unknown. The results are experimental, balancing chance and chemistry.

📷 «Семейный портрет. Они всё ещё видят» Групповой портрет четырёх поколений советских шкальных камер «Смена»: первой, третьей, шестой и особенно редкой девятой. Эти камеры — легенда массовой фотографии, сделавшая снимок доступным каждому. Их философия — фокусировка «на глазок», доверие к собственному взгляду. И хотя их корпуса принадлежат прошлому веку, они всё ещё живы. Всё ещё снимают. Кадры, сделанные ими, мы покажем позже. 📋 Технические титры Camera: Canon EOS 5 Lens: Canon Zoom Lens EF 70–210 mm Film: Fujifilm Fuji Eterna ??? expired Scanner: Fujifilm Frontier SP-3000 Exposure: 100 ISO Development: Kodak D-76, 7 minutes Date: 15/09/2018 Location: Moscow, Москва, где-то между ностальгией и древесной щепой

On the back of a film camera from the former Soviet Union is affixed a sticker with the words "This Machine Kills Fascists" printed on it in English.
Woody Guthrie would be proud.

FED 5 #sovietcamera is mostly good. I scraped some goopy oil from the lens and now it focuses. 1/60 and faster work, so no flash sync. Rangefinder is a little off, so focusing is guesswork.

Lots of lovely former Sovietness turning up on eBay over the next few days (link in bio!). Apologies for the blatant ad - there will be more, but I urgently need both the cash and a big clear out. #believeinfilm #shittycamerachallenge #sovietcamera #filmphotography
