FED-5C_57
A FED-5C I've recently bought for about $10 as a parts camera. From overhead this model looks pretty impressive with its metering controls and alternating black and chrome theme. And the Industar-61 with one lanthanum element was actually very good. Too bad that quality control in the late years of the Soviet Union (late 80's and early 90's) was more or less non-existent, and the shutter curtains for example in these cameras were so poorly rubber-coated that they used to leak light. And the Albada finder design with its reflected frameline was so poorly designed, that it was hard to see clearly. A shame because this model was in fact the more or less the only one with a frameline in those days, in the Soviet Union.
