History of the camera

This camera replaced "FED-3" in production at Kharkiv Mechanical Plant "FED" (Kharkiv, Ukraine, USSR) and was produced since 1975 till 1991.

Price of the camera was 67 Soviet Roubles (with average salary 120 Soviet Roubles per month).

Camera got a self-throwing off frame-counter. This increased the height of the camera greatly. Backwind is with a roulette.
