Picasso used a Fed 2 - but it looks like Magritte must have had a FED 5....

Makes you wonder "what were they smoking" when they put together this ad.

Oh yeah, i read about those . They were used to take photos of secret agents nose hairs....
Needless to say it was not a big success. Only because most agents only smoke cigars.. And there is really no reason to have photos of there nose hair...

i think I saw the artical in Shutter bug a few years back

I assume it's a top-loader, but do you light the film before or after you take the shot?

I guess you can burn some film with this one, and then really get "bokeh". I'll let you ponder that one.

Yep, the bug had a great story and on the following page they had a full page ad for a new improved Fed-o-bong spy cam. It came with a case woven from genuine KGB agent nose hair.

I almost bought one...
