1977 rangefinder camera FED 5C

FED is a Soviet rangefinder camera that was mass-produced from 1934 to around 1996 and is also the name of the factory that manufactured it. Starting from 1955, FED began to innovate by combining rangefinders with the viewfinder of FED 2 and all subsequent products. FED-3 added a slow shutter speed, and in later versions of FED-3 (b), the feed was changed from a finger wheel to a lever. FED 4 (1964-77) added a non coupled selenium exposure meter. The initial FED-5 had an exposure meter, but later cheaper versions of FED-5B removed the exposure meter.
