Not sure if this is of any interest to anyone on here, but I'd recently had the opportunity to trial a Fed-2 with Industar-61 L/D and thought I'd do an unfair comparison to my current popular Japanese 70's compact RF, the Minolta 7sII.
Must say when I received the Fed-2 and even after having used the two cameras side by side I thought this was going to be a no-brainer. But after having spied the outputs I admit to being very wrong and I got to say I am torn. The Fed-2 has some fundamental failings that dampen the user experience (though I am led to believe much had to do with the state of Fed-2 (esp. the VF) that I was shooting with). Bottom line is that the Industar-61L/D blew me away completely and has certainly tempted me to explore this FSU malarky
