Equipment Type: MediumFormat
Equipment Brand: Kiev
Equipment Model: 6C (90/2.8 and 45/3.5 double lens set) - reduced price
Price (S$): 260 fixed
Description:
have reduced my price to S$260 fixed for the set.

kiev 6c with 2 lenses. a nice medium format SLR that can use both 120 and 220 film. comes with the default vega12b 90/2.8 lens, and a mir26b 45/3.5 wide angle lens. cosmetically the cam is pretty good except for a crack on the handle of the film winding lever which has been fixed. lenses are in full working condition, aperture fully functional, rear aperture pin working. you will not get overlapped frames on this camera, however, the film spacing is quite wide so you only get 10 shots per roll of 120 film. also, the film counter is not working. these functional defects have been present ever since i got the camera, so i've actually been counting manually when using it. and of course not knowing the film spacing issues, i got nothing from shots 11 and 12 on my first roll. shutter works accurately at all speeds. i've added a foam padding on the viewfinder cos i wear glasses. i will leave it on unless buyer prefer it removed.

lenses fully functional.
90/2.8 in very good condition and has front cap and UV filter. glass is clean and clear
45/3.5 has scratches on front element and internal dust, but no haze or fungus. it is a much more economical alternative to the flektogon 50/4, and is wider and also half a stop faster. it's horizontal angle of view is approximately equal to 28mm on a 135 camera. being square format, its vertical angle of view is more than the view using 28mm on a 135 camera.

quick specs for lenses. these russian lenses can focus very close.
90/2.8 - aperture f2.8 to f22, min focusing distance 0.68m
45/3.5 - aperture f3.5 to f22, min focusing distance 0.50m

and yes, the metering prism is functioning. works with 3xLR44 batts. however, i never use the prism to meter cos it's very tedious to use. a handheld meter is much more convenient.

front

back

inside. nice and clean.

90mm lens

45mm lens

view with 90mm lens

view from same location with 45mm lens. wide angle of view will be even more signifcant for closer objects.
