FED 3 – Custom Painted 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera

This FED 3 film camera combines classic Soviet engineering with a refined modern aesthetic. Painted in a warm beige tone and decorated with intricate black ornamental details, it transforms a functional vintage tool into an elegant collector’s piece.

The painting process includes an epoxy primer base, durable spray paint, fine acrylic detailing, and a protective varnish coating, ensuring long-lasting color and character. Every detail has been thoughtfully applied to highlight the timeless shape of this classic rangefinder.

Mechanically, the camera is fully functional — all shutter speeds work as intended. However, please note a few small cosmetic and age-related details:

A small piece of the protective layer on the curtains is missing (visible in photos).

The back cover opens a little tightly, though it functions normally.

The lens has a bit of dust inside, and the front metal ring is slightly bent, which means filters can’t be attached — but it doesn’t affect photography or image quality.

This is a custom-painted finish, not the original coating, so handle it with care: avoid sharp or metal objects, and keep it away from rough surfaces to preserve the artwork.
