I was browsing "rangefinders" on eBay, when I found this auction listing:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** FED 35A USSR Soviet rangefinder film camera GOOD CONDITION! ***
Tovarisch! Gaze upon the FED 35A, a creation of the Soviet Union.
Do you want camera for taking interesting photos of tractor factory? Or do you wish to capture exciting moments at hydroelectric plant? Then FED 35A is for you!
Camera has been tested with battery and film, it works 100%! Shutter is strong like tractor, lens is sparkling clear as Siberian glacier.
Condition is VERY GOOD, only minor signs of wear. There are some small scuffs on outer case, please see auction photos for details. Small scuffs do not deter this amazing Socialist camera -- they only give it more charm!
Viewfinder is exceptionally clear, no fog or haze like in many decadent Western cameras. The superior Communist technology of FED 35A is an example of the greatness of Soviet engineering!
Included accessories: original FED lens cap. No batteries or film included. You must purchase these items with hard currency from your local capitalistic shop staffed by pitifully exploited workers.
Photographers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your Canons and Nikons! Choose the FED 35A!
Thanks for looking at my auction!

Congrats to eBay user rdtmusix for the most entertaining eBay listing I've seen this year.
BTW, the camera sold for CDN$11.06 on 10 bids.
