FED 2 – Custom Engraved 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera

Something a little different for the collection.

The FED 2 is a classic Soviet 35mm rangefinder camera, but this one has been given a completely different kind of transformation. Instead of paint, the camera body has been custom engraved with delicate, thin-lined ornamental patterns, creating a subtle and intricate finish that changes the character of the original camera without hiding its vintage identity.

This is the first engraved camera in the shop, and only a small number of engraved cameras will be created in the future. Each design will be different, making these cameras a much smaller and more limited part of the collection.

The camera itself is working, although it has not been tested with film. The rangefinder has some dust inside, and regular signs of age and wear are visible on the camera body and exterior.

The lens operates smoothly, but there are some imperfections in the optics, including a yellowish patch on one of the rear elements, possibly oil, along with some dust and scratches. The self-timer is not working.
