Thanks SO MUCH for this! I love my FED 2 but I could not work out how to set the film counter, and the manual was less than helpful! So simple when you know how!
Nice video. Clear instructions. Just a suggestion, I saw you struggle a bit while loading the film. I guess if you follow leica Process of loading (take out spool, clip the film and insert them together, it's easier. Anyway, everyone has their own comfort level.
How do you set aperature? Is the dial supposed to turn? I can't seem to find any resources since a lot of FED-2s use a different lens. Mine has the same type as yours but it may have gotten corroded so I am unable to turn it (if that is how its supposed to be done), otherwise I might just be missing something
Interesting video Brian thank you so much...? Now I have 2x Zorki 4s One of them has same film clip as yours... I think you can take clip off without launching into space... So you can clip it back on spool to hold film firmly.... So eg. When you rewind it will stop you rewinding too far etc etc.... you know what I mean.....

I'm glad you found the video helpful. Enjoy your Fed!
Excellent, clear demonstration and some finer points on operation. Good video.
Thanks so much for this video. I just bought a Fed 2 off Ebay and was wondering how to load the film. Easy peasy. Now to shoot some photos :-)
Glad I could help! Enjoy your "new" camera

Hi, great stuff you are uploading! Have a nice fed2, but the curtains are off. Have you ever adjusted the tension and got some idea of how to succeed?
No, I don't do my own repairs.

When replacing the door, depress the film plate with your thumb so the door can fit back on. Otherwise you’ll go nuts trying to do it!
hope this comment isn’t too late, but how advanced the counter at the end if the video when you fired off two shots? wouldn’t the counter be accurate?
A+
Can this camera fit the russar 20mm lens?
I believe so, yes.
jak zdjąć górną pokrywę aparatu Fed-4 po odkręceniu wszystkich pokręteł, przeszkadza w wyjęciu tej pokrywy pokrętło od zwijania filmu!
