So , i will try soon take some pictures whith this camera as I did whith all my "kgb's".

Alain,

an excellent acquisition! Congratulations!

Please post more close-up version of this checklist, preferably in flipped format, so maybe 600x800 pixels file? I will do my best to translate it.

Also where would one see the images you took with these KGB cameras?? I am first hearing about this, if you have them somewhere, it would be great if you could post them all in Wiki in Member Articles section!

Thank you!
Vlad

Hi Vlad, here is .
i hope you can read it....thanks in advance for translation : just translate line after line and i will print a similar check list in French to put in the case , near the original.

jsut a joke : i love the "luxury" cleaner brush, in the set !

This case is not a camera outfit! But an special set for camera repairing- that is - for parts substitution I have seen several of these cases for Kiev, Zenits and Zorkis. Believe or not there were such csees for Vilia and Smenas! Lubitel etc... That particular one is an emergency case for -in field repairing-
Very interesting!
Now a question- I want to know which digital camera has such a device?

Luiz

Hummmm, dear Luiz,
i think it is not a repair set but a basic device .
Michel bought a Kiev repair set in wooden box too ,
then we both opened the box : all parts are differents axle, gears, shaft etc ...never a complete functionnal camera and accessories as in that set.
here is just missing battery charger (to refill batteries inside remotes controllers)
but i hope i can built one whith complete information owners book. just understand it is a 3 and (or) 5 Volts power spply)...

But do not forget , i can easily make a mistake....
to be continued

I agree with Alain. These sets shown are the origianl set with all (or most) accessories and useful items for the camera. There are no replacement parts. Just the box is similar to the boxes that are used for the replacement kits. Probably the boxes are made at the same wood box-making factory. Things like the reproduction camera Elochka also come in the same boxes, and many other types of Soviet technical equipment besides cameras ... even with the same stenciled writing on the outside ... (broken martini glass to visually mean "very fragile"!).

hi Bill,
wood box ??? ha ha haha

my yolochka was provided to me packed up in a back bag made of brown coarse linen.

Alain, mine too, we may have gotten it from the same seller.. it was a burlap bag with a tie on it..

Here, you guys ... this is what box mine came in ... nice wood box with everything needed . Supposedly this one I have came from a Navy base near Odessa ... so maybe that's why it had the box. I have heard they were kept on ships so that they could be used if ever a ship was boarded and documents needed to be copied!
