This is a BIG camera outfit, in every way. It's a Kiev88 single lens reflex camera, complete with its original case and accessories: 2 interchangeable film backs, a lens hood for the 80mm f2.8 lens, 2 filters, pop-up viewer with magnifier and a leather carrying case.

It's fitted with a pentaprism viewer (interchangeable with a low level hood) and this contains a ttl meter. I added a converter so that the TTL meter (averaging, not the later less useful spot meter) runs off 4 easily obtainable button cells.

The standard lens is the Volnar 80mm (like 50mm on a 35mm camera or full frame sensor digital SLR), as well as which it comes with a TAIR33 300mm f4.5 telephoto lens which is an utter beast at 25cm long and 8.5cm at its widest point - a real metal tube filled with glass that you can use as a club in a defensive situation.

Unlike the Volnar, it's not an auto stop down lens but it's quite rare to find a lens of this focal elngth teamed with a 120 camera.

The Tair lens also comes with a brown leather case which contains a compartment to hold filters which sadly were not included when I bought it.

I have run a couple of films through it and it seemed to be pretty light-tight and reasonably accurate as far as metering and shutter speeds but aside from that it just looks completely magnificent sitting on a (sturdy) shelf with the big telephoto mounted on it.
