totally fail :(

kieB? wtf? It is kieV

Terrible review.

@nikas2007 free of thinking what you prefer.... I don't mind too much... but before commenting please read something about this camera... KNEB or KIEB or KIEV it's just the same word written in Cyrillic or Western alphabet... Cheers!

Thank you very much!

@nicklandtube "B" is always pronounced "V" so you're wrong either way.

Also, it's KNEB or KIEV in latin, not KIEB.

I think nick land is out of a job.

If you want one of these then buy one that has been rebuilt by a third party company.

Out of the factory they were sometimes grim - quality control was sometimes quite poor. There are several companies that buy them, rebuild and calibrate them and then resell them.. Hartblei, Arax and a couple of US companies do this. Then you get a reliable, bargain priced Hassleblad clone.

Allegedly ;-)

The Arsat 30 mm fisheye is a great lens, much better than the Zenitar I use on my 35 mm SLR's.

And the lens mount is generally called the "Pentacon Six" or "P6" mount, after the first widely exported camera that used the mount. The Arsenal factory copied/reworked the P6 to make the Kiev 60 and later added the same lens mount onto their Hasselbladski. You can look it all up on Wikipedia.

@nikas2007 You focused on the "B" but forgot the "backwards N". Learn about the Cyrillic alphabet. "КИЕВ" in Cyrillic, or "KIEV" in Latin.

(However the Ukranians want us to spell it Київ / Kyiv now)

Great video. Thanks. Now I want one :-), cheers Stig
