Pushkin	Posted - Jun 22 2008 : 11:36:35 PM I have noticed reference to lens mounts for Kiev 10 and 15. Are these different from the Kiev/Contax bayonet mounts of earlier models? Pushkin

Luiz Paracampo	Posted - Jun 23 2008 : 7:25:02 PM Kiev 10 shown at http://www.dvdtechcameras.com/collect/arsenal/1/k19.htm and futher Kiev 15 shown at http://www.dvdtechcameras.com/collect/arsenal/1/k21.htm had its shutter derived from Kiev Reflex prototype shown at http://www.dvdtechcameras.com/collect/arsenal/1/k38.htm . this camera was a natural evolution from the first Leningrad, itself built from the original GOI camera. Shown at http://www.novacon.com.br/odditycameras/unknown.htm http://www.novacon.com.br/odditycameras/unknown1.htm http://www.novacon.com.br/odditycameras/unknown2.htm The original automatic exposure 1964 Kiev 10 project was shared with Japanese Konica Auto reflex who built the same project around the Copal Square shutter which they previously developed together Copal company. This explains the launching of FED Mikron, a kissing cousing of the Konica EYE camera, as a kind of Royalties freedom.
cedricfan	Posted - Jun 23 2008 : 01:22:38 AM The Kievs 10 and 15 are SLR's, and 10 is propably the worlds 1st one to have autoexposure. The mount is also different from any other camera, as there is only one control between body & lens, and no aperture ring on lens. So the only common thing to RF-Kievs is the brand name Kiev.
