Hi
I am new here , but love my Zorki 1s / Zorki Ss / Zenit 1s / Zenit Ss - and Kievs .
I have several Kievs , 'cos I have an autistic glitch and this is a rare ''toy '' which hands and eyes kombine to make less out of phase / bewildering ...
I mean that most things seem distant and unreal .
However I have problems with fussy writing and dee'tails [ and with puns ! ]
I am intending to have a '' set '' of Kiev shapes drastically simplified , with no self timer and flash socket , new tan leather nickel plated and no numbers on the accessory shoe .
These will be a Kiev 2 a , kKiev 3 a - and a Kiev 3 a / 4 hybrid , old style body with Kompact Kiev 4 meter with new cell .
I have found someone to do this for me using scrap parts usually destined for black cameras and Contax copies .
I do have an original Kiev 2 1952 , Kiev 3 1954 , Kiev 4 1959 , so I can appreciate original kameras , but a set of as new special Kievs is perfect for ME .
I may even clear the real Kievs once my tailored trouble makers have arrived !
I have tried to work around my dee'ficulties , but indulging in Leica copy Fed 1 and Zorki 1 worked for me as the originals can't .
This is my last shot at kompatible klassic kameras , as I have sold all my old 60s toys on evil bay .
OK , krazy , but I have the diagnosis to prove it !
Any thoughts on rekonstituted Kievs ?
