Been looking at these recently, are they any good? I can remember hearing there are some pretty good lenses available.

Ta, from what I have read the build quality is a bit hit and miss. Not sure why I need another 120 camera though!

i have one...it's what got me started in photography. Id say its very hit and miss though. i did a series of portraits using mine about 6-9months ago. not used it since

kiev 60 is a far better choice . although 88 looks more pro .

I think Dave Rufus had/has a Kiev. Worth asking him I reckon.

Kiev 60.....I like the cut of its jib, the 88 is a blad bronny box clone, I got one of those already...

I suspicious because i'm fascinated from Ucranian cameras.
I have one Kiev 88 TTL and till now i only have to say very good.
I also have Volna 80mm and this week bought the Mir 26 45mm for my Kiev 88.
I advise you that all Ucranian/ Russian, etc, cameras are "temperamental", but the key here i think is to find a good camera, in terms of cosmetic, mechanical, etc.
