Kiev 5 photo tribute

[jlw]

My Kiev 5 has been sold to another RFF member.

He asked if I could send him a photo so he can start visualizing what he's getting into. I got a little pre-nostalgic for the old thing and shot a whole BUNCH of photos of it; thought some of you other FSU fans might enjoy them, so have posted the pix to my web server.

If you want to see them, click here. (http://homepage.mac.com/jlw/kiev5/)

Once you're on the catalog page, you can click any image to see a larger version, some of which have captions with my personal observations.

Seeing your shot of the Neverready case, I just got mine back today from a shoe repair shop in town. For just shy of $4, he put a snap on the back where the rivit was. It makes the thing a whole lot more useful if you can take the top completely off.

Otherwise, thanks for putting these up. There is a extream lack of good info about the 5 on the web, this will doubtless help others someday.
