Just wondering:
Is 1/50 considered a slow speed on a 1960 Kiev 4a?
125 through 1250 all only "click" when released, but the fiftieth seems to run some kind of clockwork, like slow speeds usually do...
Just curious,
doc.

It is a 'slow speed' doc68 - at 1/125 and above, shutter speed is set by adjusting the gap between the blinds. At 1/50th and below escapements slow the curtains, giving longer exposure.

Thank you Philip!
I found out already, when I opened the Kiev to clean and lube the shutter mechanisms.
(with Russ' KSS open right next to me...of course)
