New addition to my Kiev collection, a Kiev 4 "T" camera. Both camera and lens they both have s/n with "T". Lens was already known but first time I got a camera like that one. See,

Hi,
I don't know....
LTM Jupiter 8 can be found with s/n "T". Very uncommon.
First time I see a Kiev camera with that letter plus matching lens.
Best,

Actually I have some new information regarding this from Ilya Stolyar. A reliable source connected to Arsenal had told him that this is a Topographical and not a tropical camera/lens made to be used from an airplane.

While it may stand for "Tropical" for KMZ production, for Arsenal it's "Topographical".

Cheers,
Vlad

Amazing!

Really, it seems that the rear part is bigger than on the normal Jup 8... Would they have put a triplet instead of a doublet?
If possible, could you make a photo comparison between your "T" and a non "T"?

Finally, does this lens work?

Thanks, Jed! Big smile
