Further, the famous small-format cameras of the FED-5 series, automatic cameras FED-Micron, FED-Micron-2, FED-35, FED-50, stereo cameras FED-Stereo, and mass-produced other photographic accessories were developed.

During World War II, the plant was evacuated in Siberian city of Berdsk, in the shortest possible time, the team mastered the production of fuel pumps for La-5 and La-7 fighters, and launched mass production of fuel pumps and optical sights. During the war, the factory temporarily suspended the production of photographic products, and its mass production was resumed in 1948.
