So what ?
So two things. First they are "in stock" for Kiev lovers.
Second this is the last nail making the Kievs my main Range-Finder shooter.
Why ? Up to last months Rangefinder cameras for me were just street photography cameras. All oher types of photography were dis-associated in my mind from RF cameras on behalf of my OM SLRs fleet.
But lately I noticed very well that I may be within the same day in both situations, photographing people (silent camera) and scenics or buildings, or landscapes (several lens) - Therefore a system rangefinder camera is required with the other lenses. The common Jupiter 12 (35mm), by no means could be considered by me as the end of the wide extreme.
I considered a 24 instead of 28mm (I have no idea if there is any in stock), but at the end I gave priority to the Universal Finder, which in my Kievs is an integral part of the camera.
The lens has costed only $ 299, before shipment, due to special CLOSE OUT sale price.
If some other lonely Kiev lover out there on the hills has been considering a wide - better to make decisions now.
Cheers,
Ruben
PS:
After several hard discussions on RFF, I unwillingly have to openly warn that Kiev cameras, in contrast to some other FSU cameras, are DIS-RECOMMENDED by me to anyone lacking the strong will and time to learn its basics, or to anyone lacking proven available tecnicians to fix and/or CLA them.
