The FED 5 variant, the last Leica-derived camera design by FED, the FED 5C, appeared in 1983. This version has an uncoupled selenium light meter and projected (but non-parallax-compensated) frame lines in the viewfinder, but it lost the eyepiece diopter adjustment. It is a 35mm rangefinder camera that accepts Leica screw-mount lenses. It has a cloth focal-plane shutter. The shutter works like Swiss watch at all speeds including “B”. The rangefinder allows precision adjustment. Any Leica screw-mount lens is suitable for the Fed.
