Kievs Officially Imported Sold in UK ?

[dee]

I have won , on e-bay a Kiev 4 supposedly bought in Uk , with filter and English manual . At £27 total , I thought - why not !
It seems mint .
It's yet to arrive ... but I wondered if T.O.E imported later Kievs along with the Zorki 4 ?

I know they imported the FED4 at least, I have one of those sitting around in a TOE box somewhere, still waiting to be 'dealt with'.

I saw a web site from someone in Canada who had imported a ''winterised '' K 4 from T.O.E - so they must have sold them .

Any more info would be great .

T &OE certainly sold the Kiev-4 and 4A in the UK. I bought both new in the UK and received the guarantee paperwork from T & OE.

My father bought a Kiev 4 in 1975, I assume it came via T.& O.E. I still have it and it still works (bar a failed meter cell).
