Site Timing Out & Slow Loading

Was there an upgrade made to the site this past week or two? It significantly changed the way the site loads. It is super slow and non-responsive, often leading to time-out events during direct access or search.

Re: Identification - Leica, Hammer & Sickle

It looks like a Fed-2 commemorative model or a copy of one (apparently, there are duplicates on the market made in more recent years). https://camera-wiki.org/wiki/FED_2 Here's one that was sold on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1744712089/leica-copy-fed-2-cases-from-viktan?show_sold_out_detail=...
