General Comments
Having owned Kiev medium format cameras for many years I have come across many good and bad examples of the model 60.

Because of the realtively low purchase cost many people new to medium format cameras buy them.

Sadly often they pay too little on bargain cameras from auction sites and get stung with a dud.:-(

Many if not ALL bad experiences come from bargain basement purchases. SO BEWARE!!

If you pay a decent price you will get a reliable, strong camera that takes awesome pix!!

I found that there is a LOT of outdated and misleading information on the net (web chat groups are the worst) concerning these cameras that has cast a dark shaddow over the 60's, but I have found the exact opposite to be the reality.

From my own research and testing of this camera I have written a web page that offers a lot of help for the novice and advanced photographer alike.

I whole heartedly recomend the Kiev 60 for advanced hobbiests :-)
