If it is in working condition this is a very good price.

This camera just arrived, works perfectly, just needs a bit of cleaning.

Yes I know. I have family (and photo friends) in Ukraine too. The only problem is often the transport costs however I have my own courier to L'viv. I got a very nice Kiev-4AM with J-8M in very good condition and already serviced for $90,- but that was including a <i>stereo adapter</i> which are pretty rare to get.

Overall good photo's with the Kiev-4AM.

I also made some tests with Kodak 5222 Double-X (XX) cine film in it. Nice film and pretty cheap for 122m/400ft perforated 35mm film.

Also I noticed that the lens is made LZOS.
