Kiev 88 + 3 Lenses + Extras

For sale: Kieve 88CM, 150mm, 80mm, and 45mm lenses. Lens hoods, three extra magazines, waist level finder, + frozen body for parts.

I used this camera for my photography class until I got a Mamiya 645 1000s. Please note from the second photo there is some separation on a gasket in the viewfinder. This does not impact all photographically and would probably be easy to fix.

I have two lens hoods for the 45mm lens. The frozen body is for parts. Never change the shutter speed on this camera unless the shutter is cocked.

I have the manual (such as it is with the Russian to English translation) and the box.

Price $275 + shipping to be determined.

Email me if you have any questions or need more photos.

 

My guess is that gasket would be easy to sort out. Is there no way to 'unfreeze' the second body. A keyway inside the body?

 

I dunno. I haven't tried. I'm probably going to move this over to Ebay. I doubt anyone here is interested. I'm very happy with the Mamiya for this term. I will probably sell it to move up to a Hasselblad at some point once I figure out exactly which two focal lengths I want. Honestly I got this 150mm and I thought I would never use it but it's come in handy a few times. That said I'm really intrigued by using a 4 X 5. If you have to put the camera on a tripod why not shoot a bigger negative?

 

Here is a repair manual, I was looking at the 88 as it was a good cheaper alternative for a MF camera, however much like any Russian camera, its not 100% reliable - might help.
