This is my first camera, which I picked up in 1986.
I probably scratched the viewfinder window frame in the first year of use when the camera fell onto a brick. After that, the rangefinder stopped working correctly. In Soviet times, there was a large state workshop in Kyiv where I took this camera for repair.
With the advent of digital, the FED-2 went into retirement. And now, I've taken it out of the box, and it turned out that the shutter doesn't work, and the self-timer doesn't work. I had to perform preventive maintenance and repairs. Now it is in full working order, and there is always film inside.
For me, it serves as a "time capsule" - I rarely shoot with it, and then, after a few months or even a couple of years, I develop the film and look at the photos I would have forgotten about. It's a very strange and interesting feeling!
