Talk:Kiev (brand)

message: I thought I'd just copy here a note that 217.21.35.56 left on a recent edit:
:No Russars were ever made in Kiev/Contax mount; some garage mods from LTM versions appear on ebay every so often. OTOH, a quantity of Orion-15s was produced and exported. The 135mm lens is J-11 f/4.

message: Perhaps someone can help me with the new section on common modifications. On their website Arax describe the upgrade process they put the Kiev cameras through. I added a link to one a while ago because I though it was informative. Anyway, on their page about upgrading the Kiev 88CM they say "The Pentacon Six breech-lock lens mount has been redesigned and upgraded.".
Just what is the Pentacon 6 (P6) lens mount like? Arax claims their modifications make the lens mount more compatible with old lenses, in particular those made by Carl Zeiss Jena (CZJ). What would these modifications involve? --Imroy 11:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The section on lenses seems to list only medium format lenses. The 35mmm lenses made for the Kiev-19 and Kiev-20 are missing, which is a pity since these are also compatible with the Nikon F mount. Should such lenses be added to this page, or to a section in Nikon F-mount?

replies: text: I think such lenses should definitely go here, with a link to here from the F mount article. The article could perhaps do with a little rearrangement to better separate the 35 mm rangefinder products from the medium format ones. --Imroy (talk) 01:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I am a little bit puzzled at the first section of the article, which states that Arsenal factory has ceased its activiy. According to its official page, it does not look like it is the case. Could anyone confirm this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.6.184.150 (talk) 12:33, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: For now this is still a WIP, but I extended the article with some info about 35mm Kiev cameras and lenses. I separated them into RF and SLR subtypes. Now the article feels more balanced, I think.
English is not my native language so it would be great if someone could fix the occasional errors in language (I'm sure there are some).
As requested by someone, the article now includes a complete list of Kiev RF lenses and a list of Nikon F lenses (I am not sure this one is complete, still searching).
Kiev 35A doesn't seem to be a SLR, but temporary I left it in SLR part of the article until I gather more info.
It would probably be appropriate to include Kiev-16U camera in this article, even if it's not for still photography I feel like it belongs here. Will work on that in the near future.
I feel like the article could do with additional pictures (not the same camera over and over again, but different kinds of cameras). I don't own those cameras so if anyone does, it would be great if someone would update this page with appropriate pictures. If no one does that, I'll go around asking people for permission to add their pictures of the cameras to this page.
This is the first time I'm updating Wikipedia, I hope I'm doing this right.
