FED 3 :: Industar 61 :: Fujicolor 200

- Walking you around the FED 3 with the beautifully warm Industar 61 lens. Not as contrasty as I though it would be. Looks like a lot of people on flickr are pulling the clarity and contrast sliders hard right in post, because these images are nowhere near as contrasty as what I'm seeing out there on the interwebs.
Thanks. When I was growing up in Russia in 1978, my Mom gave me this camera for my 16th birthday. Brings back some wonderful memories of - mostly - under and overexposed images ;) Shooting now with a Canon 6D Mark 2, mostly UA-cam videos and wildlife photography.
Before you rewind the film you must turn the ring around the shutterbutton. This will release the "sprocketholder" so to say and allow the film to travel backwards into the canister without breaking. I've made that mistake off not releasing the sprocketholder my self, and it's very frustrating. After rewinding the film, make shure to turn the dile the oposit way to lock the sprocketholder.
Nice video.
Yes, thanks. I neglected to mention that. I have a Leica IIIf and there is a tiny lever dedicated to this purpose, but as you write, it is the ring around the shutter button for this camera. Thank you very much. Be well.
What does the B and C markings mean on the shutter button ? I know one is for unlocking the sprocket for rewind but is there more to it or is that marking for the lever ?
Thanks for a video, mate. I've found my grandfather's FED 3. I'm very excited to use it soon.
Thank you very much for your video clip, appreciated.
The view finder is actually adjustable to compensate short sight
I love the styling of this camera, it also looks like it would be easy to grip. Does your FED 3 have a diopter adjustment? Thanks for another terrific video, I look forward to new ones, and also watching older ones. All the best, David S.
Hello, David. Excellent point. I forgot. Yes, the diopter is the knurled ring around the rear viewfinder. It is a fairly short throw, approximately 120 degrees of adjustment. Thanks for your always-kind comments.
Pictures are absolutely perfect!
Thanks for advice. The camera manual says to cover the lens when rewinding.
I got this when I was in Russia. And I was constantly telling the guy I couldn't afford it until he kept on lowering the price before he put the camera in the case and handed it to me and said. "Free, take it"
Now that's haggling!
@@room111photography5 I was so bloody confused and unsure. My friends were just dying of laughter when we left
is the focusing using like slr or like the mostly rf camera using a yellow pacth
Greetings, Amartya Putra. It's a rangefinder ghost image, superimpose one image over the other. Be well.
How did you convert the pictures taken with the camera into digital pictures?
Karol Novotny Hello, Karol. I scanned them into my computer using an Epson V600 flatbed scanner. Be well. Thanks for your question.
Hello again, Karol. I neglected to mention that I scan either negatives or slides/positives when I scan. I do not scan prints. That was an important point I neglected to mention. Be well.
Is it easy to do double exposures on this camera?
I accidentally adjusted my shutter before shooting. Now my film counter seems messed up. Is this something that is repairable?
Hi, Josie. I'm fairly sure it's repairable, but it might cost more to repair than to replace. Wishing you well.
I have a question, how do I set up the iso/ghost in this camera? I can see the numbers and where the type of film is, but I don't know how to set it up.
Greetings, Andrea VP. I have all my cameras buried in storage, so I had to rewatch this video to look at the camera body. In the olden days, there were no settings for iso. Most cameras, like TLRs, only had aperture and shutter settings. Let's take the Sunny 16 rule, for example. If you're shooting 100 speed film on a sunny day outdoors, a shutter speed of 1/125 would get you an aperture of f/16, hence the Sunny 16 term. For 200 speed film, a photographer under the same circumstances would have to deny an additional stop of light from hitting the film due to the greater light sensitivity of the film. This means the settings would be shutter 1/250 and aperture f/16 or shutter 1/125 and aperture f/22. The principle is called reciprocity. It just means adding or subtracting light. I'm not sure what you meant by ghost. A rangefinder uses ghost images for focus. When you turn the focus ring to a state where the second ghost image is precisely aligned with the main image - one superimposed over the other - you are focused. Hope this helped. Wishing you well.
Hello
I have the same camera
How did you manage to rewind??
Hi, Van. The correct way involves ensuring various settings are correct before rewinding. It's far too long to type here. Please search the internet for FED 3 user manual and one will appear near the top of the results. This manual will explain the correct settings for rewinding. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you.
Room 111 Photography thxxxxx a lot
Perry christmas!
Nice short video. Where did you get the camera from?
Hi, Roberto. I got it from ebaY. Seller is in Ukraine. Thanks for the comment. Be well.
I have this camera and thank you so much for this video!It helps!Greetings🍀
I live my FED 3 type A. The speeds below 60 are questionable. I don't mind I shoot in bright daylight anyway. I'd love frame lines for different LENSES.
hı bro do you know how to set the gost ? ı have the same machine but the gost wheel can turn 360dg so its not feel like set
And yeah you're right about quality it may vary from camera to camera.
I ownded Fed 5 camera I had a problem with shutter curtain.It leaked light.They are very sturdy but the lens is the best thing about it.Digin the clouds :)
Thank you, good sir!
Last pic is great! I just bought one... i've never taken an analog picture!
Greetings. I hope you find analog photography enjoyable. Thanks for your comment. Be well.
It's a great video you just helped me a lot thanks 🙌
Thank you, Wiktor, for your kind words. Good luck with your FED 3. I wish you well. Warm regards.
This video made me actually buy FED (4 in the end, i settled up for the one with the lightmeter) and despite remembering not to change the shutter speed without shutter cocked, I fiddled with it at least twice, now i am afraid I bloody broke it :D
I'm sorry to learn your camera is giving you some issues. If it is any consolation, a replacement will only cost you around $40. That's not bad in the grand scheme of things. Wishing you well.
Mine looks good but the rangefinder doesnt work, (needs adjustment?).
Hi, Stu. Yes, but the cost of the repair might exceed the cost of a replacement. It's a great camera. Wishing you well.
Do you really think the fed 3 over the zorki 4?
Greetings, Stephen. Please keep in mind N=millions and, in my case, n=1. That means the number of each camera in existence is in the millions presumably, and I tested one of each. Scientifically, this is completely invalid. But it's all I could do. I couldn't buy and test many of each to conform to scientific requirements. Thanks. Wishing you well.
@@room111photography5 no no I mean you like the fed 3 over the zorki 4?
@@stephengreico2810 It's been so long since I handled them that I cannot remember them. They are in storage. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer.
Hello from Russia, I agree with you, nice camera💯💯💯📸📸📸🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞
I have a Fed2, love it, beautiful and pretty good, I have a industar 26m on it.
I got this camera today!! Can’t wait to use it
Enjoy!
Room 111 Photography thank you so much!!
7:34 is a truly beautiful image.
Thank you, Milo. Much appreciated. Best wishes.
So you can't shoot 400 speed on it?
Sure, you can. My point is that with these cameras and their tricky shutter systems, it's better to dedicate the camera to one shutter speed and leave it there. If necessary to adjust for light conditions, make the change through aperture rather than shutter.
Room 111 Photography thanks, that makes sense:).
@@room111photography5 I think you're being a little overprotective about your FEDs and Zorkis. I've seen cameras that went through so many rolls of film that focusing rings on their lenses lost their paint cover and were completely polished by hands of photographers. But their shutters kept working as intended. Greetings from Russia ,btw =)
My Fed 3 has been the most reliable Russian rangefinder I've ever owned. Actually, it's the ONLY reliable Russian rangefinder I've ever owned.
thank you!:)
same error with the rewind in first time hahah
Why video guality is not 1080p ?
i have got Fed 4 - i had bought on ebay.co.uk for 24 pounds
