Never used a FED so cant compare. The Zorki is tricky to use. The rangefinder area is quite small compared to a Konica or Yashica and the VF is akin to a Kodak happy snappy. You have to set shutter speed AFTER winding on or else you can bust the camera and the setting the speed wont be accurate if you set before wind on. The shutter speed numbering is very tiny, hard to see and never aligns accurately with the index which makes the faster speeds where the setting stops are close together a bit hit and miss.
Zorkis are reputed to have very vague shutter speeds and can drift off the stated speed by quite some. Cant say if thats true, when I have eyeballed shots using sunny sixteen rule its always turned the pic out ok.
I almost never use the Zorki as I find it too tough to work with but you could use it to hammer nails in...its built like a tank.
