G'day Karl,

That lens should be fine. I have one on Fed 2. Why not put it on the body and check the rangefinder alignment at infinity to put your mind at rest.

Regards, Chris

Hi Chris,
Many thanks.Good idea checking the rangefinder alignment at infinity,I will do that.Like you I have a Fed 2 with the above lens but no original lens for the Zorki,I think the original ones were collapsible.Getting hold of one is not easy,most seem to be in the Ukraine.
