Kiev 35A

1985-1991

The Kiev 35A is a compact, lightweight, yet full-frame, aperture-priority automatic 35mm camera. You set the ISO speed and focusing distance, select the f-stop, and the camera selects the appropriate shutter speed, automatically varying the exposure for changes in lighting conditions. Its glass lens ensures sharp, crisp pictures. Clamshell construction protects the lens when not in use. Hardly bigger than two boxes of film, this camera can be easily carried anywhere. Attaching a shoe-mount flash sets the shutter to X sync speed automatically.

The shutter release button on top of camera also has a threaded shutter release receptacle for using a shutter release cable, making this a very versatile compact camera.
