This manual contains a brief description of camera Fed-2 and the basic rules for using the camera. It 

cannot serve as a photography manual. 

Slight  differences  between  the  description  and  the  camera  may  occur  as  a  result  of  technical 

modification being introduced in the design of the camera. 

Camera  Fed-2  operated  on  standard  35 mm  film  with  a  picture  size  of  24×36 mm.  The  great 

resolving power of the lens makes it possible to obtain perfect large-size pictures. The wide range of 
shutter speeds,  the  trigger  winder,  synchronizer,  automatic  releaser,  dioptric view-finder  setting,  the 
light  weight  and  compactness  of  the  camera  will  satisfy  the  requirements  of  either  amateur  or 
professional  photographer.  The  camera  is  fitted  with  lens  Industar-26M  or  with  Industar-61  with 
lanthanum  Optics.  The  camera  is  so  designed  that  it  is  also  possible  to  use  interchangeable  lenses 
Industar-50, Jupiter-9, Jupiter-11, Jupiter-12 and others. In taking a picture the camera is focused with 
the  help  of  the  range-finder.  The  automatic  releaser  incorporated  in  the  camera  allows
