The FED-2 cameras were produced from 1955 into the 1970's. All models had a removable back, and a combined viewfinder/rangefinder. From 1956-on they included a self-timer and flash sync. Early models had a large, milled advance knob, and a collapsible lens similar to those found on the earliest FED models. Models, like the one pictured above, made after 1958 had a new, smaller milled-edge advance knob, and non-collapsible lenses with a large milled collar. Body coverings were predominantly black, but examples also exist with coverings in dark red, dark green, grey, sand and (like above) in very dark blue. The various colors are found much less often than black. The "2C" designation (see inset, below) is a actually a misnomer peculiar to English translations of the camera's name, because the "C" is actually the letter "S" in the Cyrillic alphabet. The camera has a removable bottom for film loading; shutter speeds from B, 1/30 to 1/500; the 5cm Industar-50 f/3.5 lens (serial number 5845953); a self-timer and a synch post on the front of the top housing, the same features of the regular Zorki-2 (c.1955-60). You will notice it also has a milled lens collar, instead of the usual focus knob.
