This is rare sample of the camera which lens has serial number not in line with usual numbering pattern.
This camera's lens has serial number of 398. Included
papers confirm that this is not an error - this is actual number of the
lens, but reason why it is so low is unknown. I believe that this fact
can be of great interest for researchers of the FED history and
collectors.
The camera body was made in 1949. Its serial number
is 218968. Camera body marks has past-WWII style whereas lens marks have
pre-WWII style. This lens is non-coated.
Old-type cable release is included.
Excellent condition.
