I just received a Kiev 4 with the 50mm F2 Jupiter 8M, #6801884. I purchased the camera due to an engraving of the Arsennal Logo with a red Hammer & Sickle placed within the logo. Most likely a fake Anniversary Camera.
What I didn't expect to find were the copper colored aperture blades made of the same material the shutter blades of the Kiev 10 and 15 series.. Looks fine but I would expect flare in particular lighting situations.
Does anyone else have such a lens? Was this a common practice to use this copper colored metal in place of the standard black blades?
If anyone has such a lens, did you take any outdoor shots with it? If so, how did they turnout?
Thanks,
Steve
