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!

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 :)

2 colour photos and I needed to get back to B&W!
From my test roll in the FED 2 camera. I took some photos during my first shoot with Casey (not expecting them to work somehow). I like the vintage look here from slight lens flare pointing towards the light.

First test roll through my Zorki 4 and FED-2. I unloaded the same film to test 5! different cameras so a few of them were accidental overlaps like this shot (Fomapan)
I had some developer or fixer issues on this, see the marks. Not sure what caused it.
