SECOND HAND FED 3
17 November 2011, by Derk
The usual souvenirs from Russia are vodka, fur hats, something ugly with a picture of Lenin or Stalin and maybe those stylish tea glasses you use in the nighttrains.
As the Soviet Union developed a lot of products based on those in the West, but made them cheaper there are a lot of awesome souvenirs for those in the know. The FED is the Soviet Leica camera and you can get them for under 20 euro's at a second hand shop. Although ours weren't working a 100 procent - that's the risk you take - we did manage to score some cool souvenirs and shoot a few cool shots. Simon de Boer and I shared a camera with this portrait of Simon at Dunkin' Donuts at Arbat, Moscow as result. For those who want to see more, you can have a look over here.
