Soviet star II

Windy day in Autumn

This is the second image of three taken using a Russian Kiev 60. The Volna-3 lens was a pleasant surprise - i actually expected the lens to be not that good but the sharpness and contrast of the lens is impressive.

Basic camera handling is somewhat more rough and ready than your average Nikon or Canon but the build construction feels solid. The shutter firing has a nice mechanical feel, like using a reliable machine rather than a piece of flashing electronics.
