Do they have an iron curtain inside?
They look splendid! Good cameras?

Hahaha, no, cloth....
Yes, at least the front and last one. The one on the right is more or less ok, the left one needs some repair.....

Just as the football team then, needs some repair. A good lot there Rense.

I have the FED 3 with a Jupiter 8. Very crisp and contrasty images. The shutter is acting up though so I need to get the damn thing fixed. Nice shot, Rense. I like how the cameras emerge gracefully from the black background.

A nice set. I have the FED4 which works well, yet purchased for the Jupiter 8 attached which is used on the OM-D mostly.

Are these Leica copies...???

Thank you!
Douglas, the FED-1 was at least at first sight a Leica copy. I don't have one, because the loading of film is somewhat cumbersome, through the bottom.... Over the years the FED's 'radiated' in patterns which are only partly understandable and logical. From the proper FED-3 I don't like the style anymore, but the 2's and the 3a (the right one) are beautiful.
Don't think the FED's have the same quality as the Leica's though: they are FSU camera's....

A very nice collection and a super shot of them. I too like the way you have lit and shot them.
