Looking at princelle's book, 'Cameras from the Soviet Union', one notices that the quality and ambition of FED material doesn't stop decreasing over thime. This is a fine example. The FED 50 is an involution of FED 35, a parctically identical model, only that it has a coupled rangefinder and a CdS cell meter instead of the hopelessly outdated selenium meter around the lens. Some like celenium bulbs, though. My wife is one of them; in fact the camera is hers.
The prior generation of this camera, the half frame Mikron, was indeed closely 'inspired' in the simpler models of Olympus PEN snapshot cameras, and also used a barrel selenium meter.
Hey, it is an automatic camera... with single program curve :) Wich means that it can only shoot in a very limited number of diaphragm/speed combinations, which I find fairly odd.
The previous models of this generation fo cameras, the 35 and the 35a, had a coupled rangefinder, a feature that the 50 lost. What the 50 kept was the dark green tinted finder, pretty useless in my opinion, as it doesn't need to offer any contrast with a rangefinder image.
This is how the glorious history of the camera makers from Kharkhov ends
While I was on Tim Rudman's recent lith printing workshop, I was reminded how cemeteries can yield some striking images that suit lith printing very well. This prompted a return to an old 35mm negative, which I don't think has turned out too bad as a print.
Lith print on Foma Nature II, developed in warm Fotospeed LD20 + old brown. Selenium toned (1+14)
Pentax MX, Ilford HP5+, ID-11
The mixed toning didn't work so well... The warm tone paper just goes red all over very quickly. Selenium alone works well but doesn't give me the full red I wanted.

Copy your original to a name that designates it as a work file. If your original is color already, convert it to Grayscale in the Alt-Image, Mode pull-down or desaturate the image in the Hue/Saturation palette, Ctrl-U. When it is a grayscale, convert it back to RGB in the Alt-Image, Mode pull-down so we can add our own color.
Save all your work as a native Photoshop .PDF file to preserve all the layers. You can reedit layers and other effects later.
We created a warm tone by using the color Balance dialog, Ctrl-B. We simply adjusted the Midtone Red Level to 15 because we intend to work with colors on an overhead layer. Our color simulates an old time selenium color which was a hard reddish black tone. You may prefer to create your old photo with a sepia tone which is a representative yellowish brown depending on the toning or the desaturation and fading of old age. Artists who retouched studio portraits with oils started with a slightly light selenium toned print which more easily supported application of skin colors.
Your background print needs to allow the colors to show so if you think it's too dark, lighten the photo layer. Adjust the Opacity slider in the Layers dialog lower; this allows the colors to show better. Because this operation can be adjusted when you are done, you can tweak the relationship between the photo and the coloring later.
Instead of working on our original layer, we want the opportunity to do simple erasures to clean up any over-done coloring. Create a new layer by clicking on the New Page icon at the bottom of the Layers dialog. We'll use that blank layer for adding the color. We'll smudge "oil colors" on this new layer. If you want, you could add a new layer for each color you want to use and not screw up other previously finished colors.

Some spider had a somewhat enchanting webbing and collection of pearls.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
One very labyrinthine spiderweb on a plain field had some nice dew drops stuck to it. Gave the shot a cyanotypish tone to simplify the image and give it a more "like the movie TRON" kind of feeling... because I was listening to the movie soundtrack (Daft Punk) at the time of post process! :D
Left is selenium tray; right is untoned print. It's a 1+8 dilution and I typically tone photos for 5 minutes. The photo is from 2011, taken with a Minolta XD-11 and a 135mm f/2 Soligor lens on Tri-X film developed in Eco Pro.
Canon sparepart lightmeter.
Still in its transport box.
Reference-number on the box C20121
The Selenium cell still functions. Here the needle in the dark situation.
A glance in McKeowns and further Internet searchs seems to indicate that this lightmeter could belong to a Canonflex RM (1962-1964). Further information welcome.
Photographed on the Solent at the Lepe Country Park in Hampshire. This has been given the appearance of selenium toning in Lightroom - so much easier and less poisonous than doing it in the old days!
At last I've finished with this one. I mounted it to 11x14" Savage Matboard using 8x10" Tiffen Dry Mounting Tissue cut to size using two sheets, used a hand iron on the lowest setting with a sheet of 8x10" fiber paper as a heat shield. Then hand cut another 11x14" sheet of Savage Matboard for the mat, by hand with a Swiss Army knife and a plastic ruler. The mat is shading the picture a bit at the bottom, hence that shadow which is not actually on the print.
I used a black Savage Matboard for my last print exchange print (see the next picture in the set) which I liked with the neutral Ilford Multigrade IV untoned but with the Ilford Multigrade Warmtone toned in Berg Selenium 1+3 I like how the white matboard accentuates the warm tones of the paper and selenium toner.
I'm addicted now to mounting and matting the prints. It really makes them look complete. I should get a mat cutter from Michaels obviously!
I hope the recipient likes it! This one was done for the APUG Blind Print exchange. See www.apug.org
