INTRODUCTION
KIEV Cameras have been produced since 1947 by the ARSENAL plant
(located in Kiev, Ukraine). They are exact copies of the prewar Ziess
"Contax" cameras. High reliability, ability to shoot in extremely low
temperatures (they can work even in severe Russian winters!), and
interchangeable lenses, are the characteristics which made these cameras
the choice for professional photography for more than 40 years.
