I thought I'd share a pic of my newest rangefinder... It was made in 1956 & is still working like a champ. This is the first non-metered Kiev I've had & I definitely like the ballance & feel better...
A parts Kiev 2a (mislabeled as a 4) came up recently on ebay & I snatched it up cheaply as a parts source in case anything ever went wrong with my good 2a... Well, I couldn't let it sit in a box with it's shutter ribbons in tatters, so I'm in the process of replacing them. There were a few missing screws on the front plate & the lens lock on the helical was broken, so I've got myself another 'parts' Kiev to canabilize... It never ends!
