A buddy of mine was touring the former Soviet republics right after the Cold War and picked me up a Kiev 35mm rangefinder at a market in Tbilisi. The thing is in surprisingly good condition and seems very solidly built. The glass seems nice, but I could never get the film winding mechanism to work predictably. I'd have frames with huge gaps between them and frames that would overlap, and no way to predict when it would do what. I haven't shot with it in almost twenty years; it just sits on a shelf with the rest of my small camera collection. In the early 2000s I picked up a Kiev 88 to shoot medium format on a budget and got two rolls through it before the shutter broke and I couldn't afford to fix it. I can take some pictures of my rangefinder if anyone likes.
