More rare than hen's teeth. So propably Suglob has at least one, and Alain possibly?

Yea I think Viktor would be to most likely have it, with all this BelOMO connections.. by the way, a little off-topic for this thread, but he promised me to find out about the A and B prefixes on Kiev III.. he said he sent a query to someone at Arsenal... so crossing my fingers, maybe another mystery will be solved.

Vlad, that is good news.[:)]Does anyone know the exact numbers of early Kievs? Kiev II and III by each year?

I'm not sure either Viktor has Minsk. I will be happy if he possess at least a picture of never-seen camera.

... and now the answer to your question, Vlad. Please guess what camera (not the camera actually, but the sample) I'm holding in my hand with such stupid look in my face? [:)]
