Fed Stereo
The FED Stereo is a Soviet-made 35mm stereo camera produced by the FED factory, designed to expose paired side-by-side frames on standard film for three-dimensional viewing. It sits within the small group of post-war stereo cameras aimed at enthusiasts rather than professionals.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the FED Stereo have ranged from about £75 to £160, with the two recorded results averaging around £120. Because only a handful of saleroom results are available, what a FED Stereo is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter speeds, and whether the original case or viewer accessories are included.
