I love my puns , sorry .
I have just bought an average Kiev IIIa just for the number - 551552 -
could not resist , epecially as it is number only on the access shoe and KNeB .
However this seems a poor buy compared to a IIa bought 3 months ago and lost in the e-bay system . I thought that I had been scammed and had given up and it arrived from Spain .
Just a Kiev IIa , little to get excited about , but both it , and the lovely honey colour square case are virtually pristine ... not mint as in unsued , but near perfect . Unconditionally georgeous !
It was so stiff to wind initially and feels dry , that it must have sat in it's case in sunny Spain for decades .
Honestly , I was bowled over by my mint-ish boxed 1979 Kiev 4a from UK , at the same outay .... but a IIa in similar condition seemed impossible .
CLA and USING essential !
I like my specials ... but original in this kondition is magic .

Just had occasion today to shoot my Kiev (kneb)

Thought this might be a proper place to post. All the filters and hoods came with it in the original box. Very nice dark brown leather every ready case.
