The early Leica cameras, and the other Leica inspired cameras like Canon III, FEDs and Zorkis, and almost any camera which winding also causes the film speed selector turning, always cock the shutter before changing film speeds.
FED-3 was offered many body and lens variations during its long producing time.
"Industar-61 L/D: The "L" stands for lanthane, glass coating of the lens. Lanthane is apparent a radioactive element, but its level is very low and harmless for humans, when measured with a radiation meter, the actual radiation given off by these lens is less than the background radiation. The "D" stands for "dalnomernaya", which means "rangefinder type".
