The design looking of early model Fed 1 was very similar to the Leica II. The lens FED(its Russian letter) 50mmF3.5 was a dead copy of Elmar. The left photo was called Fed2 TypeD, lanuched in 1958. The standard lens is Industar-M26 5cm F2.8, compatible to Leica Screwmout. Minimum aperture is F22 and closed focus is 1 meter.The shutter is clothed focal plane make B,1/30 - 1/500 speeds with X synchro terminal. The removable back causes that film setting is much easier than original Leica's. It has much wider di-opt setting than the Leica. The film re-winding way is just different from the other cameras, there is no R-lever. To do this, pushing and rotating the shutter button ring clockwise makes the film sprocket free.
