Good Points: Cheap, solid and reliable
Bad Points: Basic features, low flash sync speed
General comments: For the money I paid (about £100) for my Kiev 60 Medium Format camera I expected a bit of that; What I got however is a solid dependable MF camera that is a joy to use. I have used the camera many times in a pro capacity and have never found fault. The optic quality is beautiful, and it's simple design allows you to get back full control of your photography (especially us digital users). Slow flash sync can be a pain, and care needs to be taken when winding on film to avoid overlap.

There are modifications with mirror lockup, my camera doesn't have it. This camera can accept all Carl Zeiss Jena lenses that cost reasonable price and give superior quality.
Usually camera comes with TTL Prism finde ...
