Shoot film: FED 2

[@ctimur]

the lens is INDUSTAR

[@edpavez]

aaaand pinned.

[@ctimur]

thanks for another amazing video!

[@VicTheVicar]

...also, The Industar isn't a Leitz Elmar-clone but a Carl Zeiss Tessar-clone. Just in case people had the inclination to think so

[@joseangelmonclusrosell2182]

Perdona Eduardo, me he bajado la aplicación de Light Meter, pero comparando la medición con la Pentax Spotmatic no me da lo mi- amo, hay una diferencia de por lo menos tres o cuatro pasos. Hay algo que hago mal ?

[@julienkeegan9375]

I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I love any tips you can give me.

[@stanislavnepochatov8381]

Congrats! You had received good copy of FED. It's old so some copies suffers from shutter issues. Also you can try to shoot without glasses: your FED has diopter compensation. You can find this lever right under rewind knob. Fine adjustment can make shooting easier.

[@Zetaphotography]

I found one with 61 L/D. Lens is super sharp. Great contrast. Cant wait to shoot more

[@multihamsandwich]

After watching this I've have a sudden urge to purchase one.

[@multihamsandwich]

Update - Just purchased myself one!

[@O4KAST]

I might get one too lmao

[@my_negative_world]

I already have one :/

[@7Miralas]

Another one here!

[@Emil37ful]

I'm about to buy one but the viewfinder thing makes me hesitate. I don't wear glasses but, is the viewfinder small enough to be uncomfortable to use?

[@FelipeAlMoreno]

Solo por informar: la lente es una Industar en letras latinas. Me ha sorprendido la calidad que saca, teniendo en cuenta que es uno de los objetivos (si no el más) más económicos que puedes encontrar tanto en 50mm como en montura de rosca. ¡Gracias por la review!

[@bozo859]

Superb as usual Eduardo. I especially enjoy how you place the images of the photographs into the video. If you were to call out the exposure information to the videographer, (giving you an easy recovered record) you could then include that info printed on screen over the displayed photographs. More work for you in post production, but I think it would add to the product.

[@bwc1976]

Great shots, I love the look of this lens and film. I am a fellow glasses wearer though, and the easiest rangefinder to look through that I've seen so far is the Olympus 35RC. Very easy to see the frame lines and what's outside of them.

[@ChrisRoutledge]

I got started with rangefinders with a Zorki 4 and a FED 3, but I wear glasses too, and those viewfinders are very small and scratchy. The Leica 3 and 2 eyepieces may be a metal, but at least they don't have those serrated edges. These "you''ll see all of them" videos are great.

[@GreggObst]

To keep the metal viewfinder from scratching your glasses you can either epoxy (carefully) a rubber washer to the outside of the metal viewfinder circle or Aki-Asahi also offers peel and stick felt ones measured for the Fed-2 aki-asahi.com/store/html/Fed-2/eyepatch/index.php They also offer the peel and stick felt ones for other models as well. I would advise epoxying these on as well as the adhesive comes off too easily otherwise. I've had a few rub off in camera bags until I started epoxying them on. I haven't had scratched glasses since.

[@GreggObst]

I don't know why this comment keeps getting posted as a reply to the wrong comment I'm replying to above but... This is in answer to the eyepiece scratching glasses.

[@paullacotta5645]

That ride cymbal and drummer really suits the Fed II !

[@LarsBartschat]

Your videos always have such a relaxed vibe, thanks for sharing your content with us.

[@classic-car-perspective9472]

great work I use poundland 35mm Vista 200 and use it regularly in my Rollei B35. I currently have a thing for zorki cameras I recently bought the zorki 1 a leica iiif copy!

[@snowhusk]

Yeah, FEDs are known to be inexpensive and reliable cameras. I personally use FED 3 because it has slow shutter speeds like 1/15 and 1/8 that I need because I like shooting in low light. I'm glad to see that you've liked both FEDs you've tried and thanks for the video - now I see why people recommend FED 2 so much, it really is a lovely camera. If only it had speeds like 1/15 or 1/8, or 1/10. Great video as always, keep up the good work

[@tristanrujano]

It does have bulb mode, which could be a poor alternative

[@gilbertoportillo6650]

Estaba indeciso pero al ver su video me he decidido a comprar una en eBay. La película que usted utilizo también es muy buena, las fotografías salieron bien coloridas. Gracias. Saludos desde EE.UU.

[@raysyu4330]

Oh man those are interesting photos and good quality scan. Can I ask when you're scanning, do you use silver quick?

[@alexandrorodrigez]

¡Gracias por tu interes en esta cаmara sovietica! El mejor de todos los FED es el FED-5c. ¡Solo hay que probarlo!

[@ssilanes]

Muy buenos y super completos tus videos. Se agradecen y disfrutan más cuando son en español. 🤙

[@mipal7]

The FED2 is similar to my Zorki 4! Love that camera. Thanks for the review Eduardo! You're inspiring me to take mine out for a shoot now :)

[@jordan.7]

Really great video. I have a question. How do people not notice you when you take their picture?

[@matchat86]

I think that I fell lucky when I bought my Fed 2. It was my first rangefinder and came from Russia (sold on eBay). It feels much smoother than any Russian camera has a right to and the shutter is fantastically quiet. I also have a Zorki 3 and a Zorki 4K and they feel much more agricultural. Like your Fed 2 my model is one of the early ones with Leica style wind knob and the raised edge around the viewfinder Fed 2(b) I think. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to try a rangefinder or even someone who just wants something quirky and fun to shoot. They can be had from eBay sellers who advertise them as having had a full CLA for about £30.

[@Sebastian_Astudillo]

Fed and zorki both offer copies of the Leica cameras, the difference is Fed started copying leicas as early as the 1930s and did reverse engineering to create the most precise and similar copy, fed cameras are really good quality, the same with Kiev Cameras. Zorki in the other hand is a copy that started it's production in the early 1960s with cheaper materials and less quality. I own a Kiev III from 1955 and it's a really good camera, the jupiter 8m lense works incredible good. I also own a Fed 1 from 1953 and damn im loving it

[@bocobynie]

24 exps roll and 24 photos worth publishing and like 12 of them are EXCELLENT, perfectly done. Anyway, great video and one of the best photography channels.

[@SamaroGitano]

I was waiting anxiously for this video since the day you said you were going to review it. I was thinking in buying one and wanted an opinion like yours! Thanks and greetings from a fellow Chilean living in Canada.

[@aleydelopehandia3791]

Qué día! Lo mejor para fotografiar es que haya movimiento y situaciones interesantes. Fotos muy baknes!

[@cid2046]

¡Hola Eduardo! Me da mucho gusto ver que hiciste un video en Coyoacán. Es uno de mis lugares favoritos de la ciudad. Me gustaron particularmente la foto de los músicos, el retrato de la señora y la niña de 3:46. Los colores del agfa son muy bonitos. Me dan ganas de comprarme una FED 2, pero me preocupa el asunto visor, ya que también uso lentes. Voy a ver si puedo probar una. El mes pasado estuve visitando a mi familia en México y también pude tomar fotos en Coyoacán (con una leitz-minolta). También pude ver tu obra de teatro, me encantó. No me pude quedar para ver tu nueva obra pero te deseo buena suerte en el estreno.

[@celsofukuhara1794]

Good photos, good definition of contrasts like a Leica

[@marshallwebber9682]

Thanks for your review. You've got a great eye for street photography

[@1peterq]

FED2 allows to shoot without glases because it has a diopiter correction (lever underneath film reverse rewind knob).

[@philhodgkinson1460]

I have a FED 2 and had to change back of camera because of not having a tripod bush not sure if backs intercha geable but now I have light leaks.... dosent look like black foam ever used.... I don't know... any Ideas.... I just love this camera as a canny development of the Leica ii of the 1930s easier to load too.... Nice video too....

[@goranpavletic2145]

Very good video Eduardo, and I have to say that in the last few videos your street photography quallity level is higher and higher. Congrats!

[@44fourprod]

STUNNING pictures

[@mks0198]

Amazing shots

[@davidcardwell9086]

Love the photos, but you know, sometimes I love the video footage even more.

[@2jimsy]

Some more outstanding photos. Thanks.

[@FrankWalsh]

5:08 did you check his pulse :-)

[@were4418]

lol

[@onzkicg]

Frank Walsh haha I was waiting for a shaky shot.. now ‘i know what u mean.

[@vanillandjune]

This was fun! I'm thinking of buying it and it's already in my cart but I'm not sure if this is good for beginners. Any advice?

[@legofest]

Your work from Mexico and Chile would make a great book/zine

[@denic1977]

Besides the FED-2, the Zorki camera (USSR) is an exact copy of the Leica. This happened because after the Second World War, the Soviet Union, as compensation, removed all the equipment of factories for the production of photographic equipment and not only photographic equipment from Germany.

[@thekidneedsjuice3785]

Estuviera chido si hubieras incorporado un rollo de B&W con esta camara. It would have been cool if you would have also used a B&W film with this camera. También. La Música que usas siempre esta cool 🕶

[@ddaly20111993]

Would love to see a review of the Leica CL

[@Clarimort]

KEIN GOTT, KEIN STAAT, KEINE ANGST I love you

[@zacualpeno100]

Hola Eduardo. Me gustó la del señor dormido. También la de las tres señoras, la de enmedio te miraba con mucha intensidad.

[@plentiheart]

Excelente video, y fotos padres! He querido comprar un rangefinder por mucho tiempo y los FED 2 salen mas baratos que otros.

[@fotolookconde]

I have the FED4 but I am tempted to add the FED 2 in my bag! Funny cameras to use, as a break to my medium and large format cameras! Actually I have a review of my FED4 in my channel!

[@markharris5771]

As always a fantastic video that I really enjoyed. I have a Zorki 4K that I love, but for some reason I always though the FSU cameras were more suited to black and white films, but you proved me wrong with what, in all probability, is one of he cheapest colour films out there. Did you develop the film yourself? There are a lot of really good cameras out there that those whose don't have them like to talk down, but if you get a good one you have a great camera.

[@TheMrMKultra]

I had an Agfa Vista film which stated to have 24 exposures but I shot over 36 with it until it wouldn't wind anymore. We will see how many there actually were after the film is developed

[@srfurley]

Sorry I can’t reply in Spanish. Good camera, good video, good pictures. The Russian lens name says Industar. I have one of these, and about fifty other cameras in my collection. I’ve only shot one film with it so far, and had a problem. The first few frames were taken with the Industar 26 50 mm which came with it and these came out fine, but I then changed to a Jupiter 12 35 mm and all of these were completely blank. The Jupiter 12 works on other cameras and the shutter in the FED 2 is working wits normal lens. I’ll have to try it again with the Jupiter 12. This lens extends a long way back into the camera and I’m wondering if the shutter in the FED 2 is slightly further forward than in other cameras and the rear element of the lens is touching it. The original FED is a very nice camera, smaller than the FED 2, and is a copy of the Leica II. I have one which I bought very cheaply not working. It would be a simple repair; I must get it done sometime.

[@farhadfadayi7389]

I've bought Fed 3 about 3 months ago, but not yet tried. sue am gonna try it. I like you videos. thanks for nice reviews and all your hard works. I wish I could do as you do.

[@zefcypher]

Such a well made video!

[@OldCameras]

Those Fed cameras are very good looking. I had a Fed3 which was pretty cool looking. I didn't enjoy using it as much as I expected to be honest, but it sure was a good looking camera :)

[@diegogonzalezluna3400]

Eduardo en este video sin duda he encontrado algunas fotos interesantes, mas que las que he visto en previos videos, gracias por compartirlas, me gustan tus videos, saludos y no sueltes la cámara.

[@clementyu6435]

Zorki 4 has a much larger viewfinder then the Feds. It is a Russian RF camera also.

[@kyletenorio8541]

great video as always.You captured some really great moments in this video. loved it!

[@mrtonysantos]

use the diopter adjustment without spectacles to save scratching them

[@lasqueur]

Try the first FED or Zorki 1 ( they are the same) .This is something different :)

[@KILLROYCZOP]

Ed, you are an incredible photographer.

[@李諒昱]

I got this camera and have a lot for fun thanks to your video. Thanks! Could you maybe shoot another episode with Zorki 4 or Zorki 4k? Never had a chance to get one, which is said to have a better (at least larger) viewfinder.

[@villegas24]

The film look and the old plaza makes it look as if it was Mexico in the 70-80's

[@StuartHerrington]

excellent video Ed. Thanks for this

[@edpavez]

thanks for watching! :)

[@jcc7286]

puedes usar la dioptria para ajustaro a tu vista y usarla directamente sin lentes, gracias por tu review, las fotos fueron muy buenas. seria genial ver que tomaras fotos en Puebla, saludos

[@edpavez]

créeme que si pudiera lo haría, pero no puedo. tengo 4 y medio de miopía. :(

[@Elimnio]

Wonderful video, beautiful camera, wish I haven't sold mine.....I hope you didn't scratch your glasses with the metal eyecup ;-)

[@colRobinOlds]

i wish i had this man's confidence in street photography

[@yobmas722]

Hope you do Zorki 4 or Zorki 4k next! :D

[@prostum]

Love your videos bro. Can you please make video on how are you using in-camera lightmeeters, how do you deal with exposure compensation (if your subject is dark and the background bright), do you trust the camera lightmeeter...? Thanks :)

[@luisbvo]

Hola Eduardo 🤗, espero te encuentres bien, una consulta, ¿Los números para establecer la distancia que muestra el lente de la camera es en feets o en metros?. Gracias de antemano 🙏

[@edpavez]

No tengo idea. Regalé esta cámara a mis Patron hace años. Lo siento!

[@MrWimMichels]

Eduardo try a Petri Computor 35! A little magic camera ;-)

[@billpickle2875]

man spanish is spoken so quickly. great video.

[@edpavez]

...and I'm speaking in a more or less neutral and slow Spanish. Chilean Spanish goes three times faster!

[@billpickle2875]

EduardoPavezGoye crazy man... im only gauging it from certain tv shows ive watched in spanish. do colombians speak slower? haha loved all the shots man, makes me wanna start shooting all that vista i impulse bought out of poundland 3 months ago

[@edpavez]

in my opinion: basically, every Latin American country speaks in a more or less proper Spanish except Chileans and Argentinians... we just destroyed that language and created our own. hahaha and yes, shoot that poundland film. it's great!

Hola. Y el problema del visor no lo solucionaste con el corrector de dioptrías? Así no necesitarías tus gafas. Lo tienes en una palanquita arriba a la izquierda

[@fotolookconde]

EduardoPavezGoy as you "complain" about the tiny viewfinder do you think if we use that camera with a hot shoe viewfinder could work much better?

[@edpavez]

you can't focus the rangefinder though an external viewfinder.

[@fotolookconde]

@@edpavez I know but to facilitate the image composition only.... Working with hiperfocal distance we don't need to focus using the viewfinder!

[@miguelantunez4839]

Interesante tu vídeo! Pero no mencionas como mides la luz? Ya que estás cámaras al igual que la Leica M3 no tienen exposimetro.... Grácias.

Hi..I just bought the FED 2 camera..can you make a video on how to use the camera in detail? I mean how to use the aperture and shutter speed at day and night to have a better quality picture. I searched at anywhere but can't find one.. I hope you respond my comment thank you ! :)

[@marcelodelcanto2330]

hola Eduardo. te quería preguntar sobre la Zenit EM ya que después que vi tu vídeo de esa cámara se me dio la oportunidad de comprar una de las mismas y facinado salí a probarla ( no sin antes probar la velocidad de obturación y que todo estuviera OK ) con un film kodak 200 común y corriente. después de llevarla al revelado me entregaron en film y me dijeron que no había salido ni una sola foto lo que me dejó con una úlcera inmensa ya que tengo otras análogas y nunca me había pasado. Acepto todas las recomendaciones y sugerencias que me des. Saludos

[@edpavez]

Hola! No tengo manera de saber qué le pasó. Es como que te dijera "tengo un auto que revisé que estaba bien pero ahora no enciende, ¿qué es?". Lo mejor será que la lleves a reparar. Saldrás de dudas de inmediato. :)

Hola Edo, primero que todo Felicitaciones por el canal... definitivamente te has convertido en mi mentor de la foto anáoga (y digital tb)... estoy empezando en esto yya tengo mis primeros rollos en blanco y negro digitalizados. Los revelé yo mismo siguiendo tu episodio a la Brute way!. Me quedaron bastante bien creo yo. En mi caso tuve que sacarles fotos con la digital reflex y un lente macro cuadro por cuadro para que me quedaran bien digitalizados, con el escáner no me quedaban bien. En fin, tengo una pregunta, ¿que haces con los negativos digitalizados luego de pasarlos a lightroom y postprocesarlos? los eliminas, como los vas ordenando?. Sería super choro si es que me pudieras explicar un poco como es tu flujo de trabajo y la organización que tienes con tus fotos en el computador. Quizás hasta sería una buena idea para un episodio no? muchos saludos desde Talca!
