![]() ![]() FED (ФЭД) (after Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky) was established as a labor commune in the 1920s (in Kharkov, Ukrainian SSR). The first camera, a Leica II clone, was manufactured in 1934. Since then FED has produced many camera models of its own, as well as many Leica-based ones. The manufacture of some models was moved to Krasnogorski Mekhanicheskii Zavod (KMZ) in 1946. Later, most of these were renamed as "Zorki" models. You may find useful information such as serial number lists, and the FED history on the Fedka web-site. Also, there are several model guides available: USSR Photo - FED, and Aidas Pikiotas's SovietCams. |
