Col,
I think your out-dated (very) Russian film really failed to let the little Kiev do itself justice. I've had very sharp results from mine.
I've never liked even in-date Russian film. The few Russian and Polish photojournalists I've met on my travels into Eastern Europe didn't like it either. They would pay a premium for Ilford or Kodak film.
If I remember rightly the Kiev 30 takes the same cassettes as the Minolta sub-min, and there used to be a chap on the sub-miniature collectors (or users) website that sold cassettes of this film very reasonably in packs of about 10. Not genuine Minolta-packaged film but quite good stuff.
I don't know if he still does, but it's worth asking Google to find it.

A good find, and interesting project. If nothing else it does show how much the camera has come on. A modern camera of the same size and same relative cost will take infinitely better photographs. One can argue whether that is good or bad.

Col, I wouldn't disagree with that - but I think we are probably in the minority.

Hi Col! Neat little camera you've got there The Sub-Club is a good site, with lots of things to check out, and ideas for using your sub-mini. The Frugal Photographer is another good one. Doug |
