The Kiev-6S (also referred to as the Kiev-6C) is a classic Soviet medium format
film camera designed to compete with Western professional systems of its time. Built like a tank and known for its rugged reliability, the Kiev-6S is a favorite among analog photography enthusiasts who appreciate its unique design, large negatives, and the distinct rendering of Soviet optics. This set has been fully serviced (CLA’d – cleaned, lubricated, adjusted) by a professional technician, making it ready for immediate use. Unlike many unserviced Soviet cameras that may suffer from inaccurate shutter speeds or stiff mechanisms, this one has been carefully restored to working order, ensuring a smooth shooting experience for its next owner. ✨ Camera Highlights The Kiev-6S is a medium format single-lens reflex (SLR) camera that shoots 6x6cm negatives on standard 120 roll film. This produces exceptionally detailed images with rich tonal range, superior to smaller formats. The camera is well known for its unique left-handed grip design and a shooting experience that combines the charm of vintage film with the reliability of a robust mechanical system. This particular body has undergone a complete service: • Shutter speeds were calibrated and tested, and all work correctly. • Film advance was checked and works reliably. • Body condition is solid and functional, ready for professional or hobbyist use. 🔭 Lens: Vega-12B 90mm f/2.8 The included Vega-12B 90mm f/2.8 lens is one of the most respected standard lenses for this system. With its bright aperture of f/2.8, it is excellent for portraits, still life, and general photography, providing beautiful subject isolation and smooth background rendering. This lens was also fully serviced: • Glass condition: Clear of scratches and fungus. Only minor cleaning marks may be present, typical for vintage lenses, but they have no impact on image quality. • Aperture mechanism: Clean, oil-free, and functioning smoothly. • Focusing system: Re-lubricated for accurate and precise manual focusing. The Vega-12B is loved for its classic Soviet rendering—sharp in the center with pleasing falloff toward the edges, delivering a look that many digital lenses cannot replicate. 🔋 TTL Prism Finder This set includes the TTL prism finder, a valuable accessory that allows through-the-lens light metering, making exposure control easier compared to the standard waist-level finder. The prism finder was tested with batteries (not included) and is in working condition. 🎞 Waist-Level Finder (Bonus) As a bonus, the original waist-level finder is included. This piece is non-functional but provided for collectors, spare parts, or restoration enthusiasts who want the complete Kiev-6S package. 📦 What’s Included in This Offer: ✔ Kiev-6S (Kiev-6C) Medium Format Film Camera Body (CLA’d)✔ Vega-12B 90mm f/2.8 Lens (fully serviced, excellent optics)✔ TTL Prism Finder (working condition, tested)✔ Waist-Level Finder (non-functional, bonus)✔ Original Camera Case 🎯 Why Choose This Camera?
