Wonderful camera to begin your experience with medium format film, or to extend your collection.
If you don't have bazillions to spend on Hasselblad, Kiev88 is the right choice for you.
♥ It's got hot shoe with synchronous center contact for accessories.
♥ Kiev 88 viewfinders are compatible with the Hasselblad 1600F and 1000F, and even current Hasselblad V-system models
♥ The camera curtain shutter offers exposure times over a range from 1/1000 to 1/2 s and manual exposure "B".
♥ The shutter cocking mechanism is interlocked with the film transport mechanism, thus preventing double film exposure.
♥ The camera comes complete with lens MC Volna 3 (MC Arsat). The lens is provided with a special multilayer antireflection coating (MC) which upgrades the image quality and enhances its contrast due to better-integrated transparency and reduced light dispersion.
♥ The focal length of the lens is 80 mm, the relative aperture is 1:2.8, the diaphragm setting limit is 22, the near focusing limit is 0.6 m.
♥ The sharp focusing is carried out with the aid of a micro raster or a range finder wedge arranged in the centre of the field of view and with the aid of a ground-glass surface.
♥ Design of the camera envisages the use of interchangeable lenses. The lenses are fitted on a threaded bayonet. The hood-type viewfinder enables the picture to be viewed on the ground-glass surface with or without a magnifying lens. The field of vision of the hood-type viewfinder measures 53x53 mm. Magnification of the TTL prism finder eyepiece is 3x, the field of vision measures 53x53 mm.
♥ The interchangeable magazines offer the opportunity for quick change in the process of photographing from a black-and-white to a color film or to a more or less sensitive film. The magazine may be removed from the camera irrespective of the number of the pictures taken. Each magazine is provided with an automatic picture counter and a film speed setting scale of the loaded film.
♥ No frame overlap.
♥ Some light leaks in, as it does in most Kievs, which can be easily prevented with a black masking tape.
