Suave, classy, sharp yet smooth–these fine qualities can only come from those irresistible Russian Deadstocks who keep coming back to haunt us with their presence! So roll out the red carpet and make way for another robust Russian rangefinder camera–the Kiev4! |
|
Sleek and elegant-looking, this handsome Deadstock is born with a rich history. Post-WWII, the Russians took over the German Zeiss Ikon factories (makers of the esteemed Contax II and III cameras), as part of war reparations. They bagged the left-over equipment and personnel, shipped them to the Arsenal factory in Kiev, Ukraine where they set-up the Zeiss Ikon’s Contax line. It was then when they started producing over a million of these Soviet-era babies 'til the mid-1980s, under the "Kiev" name. http://shop.lomography.com/go/?where=shop&pro=kfr |

What makes the Kiev4 different from the other Russian darlings in our lineup?
The Kiev4 hails from the Contax family; the Feds and the Zorkis are descendants of team Leica. (Yes, it all boils down to the good ol’ Contax vs Leica rivalry!)
