Hello,

yesterday a very nice Kiev 4A with Olympic signs arrived here. It looks and works like new after I screwed the focus wheel on. I wonder a bit that the Princelle only says that a Kiev 4AM with that signs is existing. So what do I have here?

Hi Ulrich,
Looks nice! But, if you go to this ebay link you can see the same badge that is on the front of your camera. Usually, with a search for "Russian badge" or in this case, "Russian Olympic Badge" you can find them on Ebay. So, good to look first, if you care about the authenticity or the camera is very expensive. You can even make your own items if you buy the badges on Ebay!

Thanks to all.

So it seems to be a fake camera, that's not good, but it isn't bad at all because I did not pay too much for it. I have it from the same seller from whom I have my 1949 Kiev, the KIIV with the unique box and a very early Zenit 3 with the name engraved in a different way(really big "3" and no KMZ logo on front).
