Equipment Brand: Kiev
Equipment Model: 4AM with lens

Description:
i've another kiev 4AM with the renowned helios-103 53/1.8 lens that i want to let go. this one is fully functioning at all shutter speeds. the only issue is that the additional focusing wheel is not working. anw just for info: focusing can be done by turning lens barrel (as per all normal lenses), focusing wheel is an additional focusing tool used for default 53mm lens that uses internal bayonet mount. other lenses work by turning lens barrel directly. hence would not affect cam's functionality at all.

cam is cosmetically very very good.

rear

top (i have boxed up the focusing wheel in red if you are wondering what it is)

ok i managed to get the focusing wheel fixed (so now it works with the lens), but accidentally cracked the front flat plastic of rangefinder window. it doesn't affect functionality at all and it's literally invisible when you look through the viewfinder.

but anw. i'm slashing price down to $90. all lower offers will be ignored, no need to bid- first offer of $90 gets the cam. lens is in great cond btw. a great user camera. =) definitely worth the great price.

view of crack on rangefinder front plastic:

through the viewfinder (focused at infinity) - crack cannot be seen on the rangefinder patch (anw if you want to know- this is due to theory of optics)
