Hi Gang, This is Kievman, My real name is Michael. I have been lurking on this forum for 6 months, trying to learn as much as I can about FSu/Commie Cameras as possible. I own 4 FSU Cameras now and love them. I tried positing on this forum yesterday and in the past, but the server would log me out - Very fustrating to say the least!:bang: I dont know if any of you have had that problem before, but it has happen to me 3 time!:bang:
I hope this one goes thru???????? Cheers - Michael

'What liitle box? I will look for it next time, where is it located on the Window? - Michael

[Spyderman]

Welcome, and BTW: what is Kiev 4A-1, 4B-2 ?

AFAIK there are Kiev 4 (w/ meter) and 4a (w/o meter), type 1 and type 2 usually refers to leather/leatherette and metal/metal+plastic self-timer lever.

Are you, by any chance, a man of wealth and taste? :D

[SolaresLarrave]

He must be, Kevin, if he's into rangefinder cameras. In fact, we're all men of wealth and good taste here! :)

[amateriat]

And he's been lurking around here for many a long year, I'd bet...

So, let's show some sympathy. :)

Thanks Spyderman and to all the rest of you folks.... And to answer Kevin M's question - Yes and Yes. I like fine wine, woman and cheap expensive looking cameras!!!!!! and FSU cameras fit the bill!!!! even when they don't work!!!!!!! and to be perfectly honest I have/had my fair share of expensive cameras- Bronicas, Mamiyas, Leicas and all those other expensive sounding cameras and when theiy break, the only difference betwieen them and the cheapy FSU cameras is they make much more expensive paper weights than the FSU cameras!!! and they cost a lot more to fix too!!!! All the Best - Michael
