My good relative give me Kiev 19M with little story. He told me that he bough this camera directly from the factory from last production run. He was told that this is one of the last 35mm cameras ever made by Arsenal. S/N 99960. I wonder if somebody can confirm this claim. What the last serial number of Kievs known to exist?
I have two Kiev 19M cameras and the later one has the serial number 154698. As these serial numbers do not use the first two digits to represent the date, I assume that the date of my camera is 1997, as 97 are the first two digits on its Arsat N lens.
Last 35mm cameras from Arsenal?
