Kiev 5 photo tribute

[jlw]

My Kiev 5 has been sold to another RFF member.

He asked if I could send him a photo so he can start visualizing what he's getting into. I got a little pre-nostalgic for the old thing and shot a whole BUNCH of photos of it; thought some of you other FSU fans might enjoy them, so have posted the pix to my web server.

If you want to see them, click here.

Once you're on the catalog page, you can click any image to see a larger version, some of which have captions with my personal observations.

Seeing your shot of the Neverready case, I just got mine back today from a shoe repair shop in town. For just shy of $4, he put a snap on the back where the rivit was. It makes the thing a whole lot more useful if you can take the top completely off.

Otherwise, thanks for putting these up. There is a extream lack of good info about the 5 on the web, this will doubtless help others someday.
