I have the Kiev 6c 6x6 slr with the 90mm Vega 2.8 lens and waist and eyelevel prism finder. Saves bending over for portraits if you use the prism finder for portraits.
sounds sweet that kit! I've just finished scanning negs from some Svema film taken on the Kiev 4a pretty happy with the results. Should be the next video :-)
I bought one of these from Ukraine big mistake, camera was damaged. These seem cool but quality control in russia is different than here. If you can find one from a local buyer i wouldn't pay more than 100.00 usd.
Sorry to hear that. The Japanese/West Germans made better camera of course during this time in the 80's/70's. The Pentax 6x7, Mamiya, Bronica, etc are of course all better but they cost much much more.
Everyone loves kittens! Cool portraits and I really like the image of the tree.
Thank David, been a busy bee of late. That tree is one of my favorite too. I use to cycle pass it everyday to work.
I recognise an Irish account anywhere great vid, I just bought a Kiev 60 and looking forward to bring it around Dublin
Wish I was doing the same. Need to wait a little while longer.

What lightmeter model do you use?
Hi Andriy, Thank you for ypur comment. The meter I use is Polaros SPD100. It's basic and works very well over the years I've had it.

And now watch the price of the Kiev 60 sky rocket haha
In Europe there's still plenty of them knocking about but time hasn't been too kind to them unfortunately.
