1934 - 55 FED 1 derived its name
from Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky's initials, the founder of the
Soviet Secret Police. The FED was made in Kharkov, Ukraine at a Youth
Rehabilitation Commune. It is a copy of the 1932 Leica II. The lens, a
FED f3.5 / 50mm, is also a copy of the Leitz Elmar of the
same period.
