Starting 1950 good producing of FEDs were a result of good worknmanship and equipment.
Before the WWII was forgotten, once more engeneers wanted to improve FED-1 (prototype).
But Moscow wanted them to continue "Social competition" - so workers continued producing them.

Identical to the FED type 1e, continually improving definition.
The chrome is more bright, the releases flat, chrome and without engraving.
The new sign FED in curved form on the top.
The coated lens is protected by a bakelite cap, copy as that of the
Leica, and receives the new stops for apertures: 3.5-4.5-8-11-16.
