Fed Atlas Film Camera

The FED-Atlas is a 35mm film rangefinder camera manufactured by FED, with production occurring from 1966 to 1971. It represents an evolution of the FED-10 model and features a notably tall top housing that houses the viewfinder, rangefinder, and an integrated selenium light meter. Unlike the FED-10, which has a curved light meter match-needle window reminiscent of the FED 4, the Atlas is equipped with a more straightforward rectangular window that includes two arrows for aligning the meter needle. This meter display is also visible within the viewfinder.
