I must apologise for the bad model! I had no intension of posting this photo as I didn't expect it to work. Shot after midlight last night under the bathroom ceiling light into the mirror to test the lens and finish the roll. I guessed exposure and expected OOF issues too. To my surprise it's in focus! Non-Russian lens on Russian camera wide open at 1m. Interesting! This means I can use the FED-2 with any of my LTM lenses :)

Another never tested camera and i've had this from when I bought my Leica M9 camera! Finally I put a test roll through it.. expecting nothing.. to the extent that I did selfies with the last 10 images to finish the roll.. only to be amazed that it works and it works well!
