Rangefinder camera manufactured at the Kiev defense company Arsenal. Replaced essentially the same Kiev-3a. Kiev rangefinder cameras come from the Contax-2 and Contax-3 rangefinder cameras. A well-known fact is the transfer of equipment, documentation, specialists, components and other things by the German company Carl Zeiss Jena, due to the reparation of the country that suffered the most in the Second World War, namely the USSR.

The Contax rangefinder cameras decided to continue to assemble at the facilities of the Arsenal defense enterprise, but the name itself was changed to a more acceptable Kiev. The first Kiev cameras were assembled from components for Contax cameras. German experts helped and assisted in the development of complex equipment. Many consider the rangefinders of Kiev a copy of Contax, although in fact the camera was "presented" and the Germans helped start production, albeit voluntarily-forcibly.

Ergonomics and design:

Kiev-Contax is an order of magnitude more complicated and accomplishment than Leica-2 (FED-Zorkiy). Designers did not seek a compromise between quality and usability, rectangular shapes and heavy weight bribe and respect. Although ergonomics are not the best, mainly when focusing, the fingers of the right hand block the window of the rangefinder, thereby complicating the process. There is no usual cock of a platoon, instead of it a head - it’s a selector for selecting shutter speeds.We ship your orders via UPS with a tracking code, all orders without exception are insured by us against loss or damage (included in the shipping cost).
