Kiev 60 is a medium format SLR film system camera manufactured by Arsenal Factory, in Kiev, Ukraine, former USSR, and produced between 1984-99. Киев (Kiev) is the capital of Ukraine.
The Kiev 60 is inspired by the Pentacon Six, but contrary to wide-spread claims, it is not strictly accurate to call it a Soviet Union copy, it has been very substantially re-designed. So the Kiev 60 is a newer design than the Pentacon Six. They share the same principles and the lens bayonet but nothing else. So, you can use many of the Pentacon Six lenses. If ever there is a camera which doesn't deserve its bad reputation, it's the Kiev 60. It is one of the best deals for anyone wanting to do amateur medium format photography. With the prism, it looks, feels and handles like an overgrown 35 mm SLR.
The company Arax has upgraded Kiev 60 cameras from the beginning of the 2000s decade.
