Hi there,

Maybe not the best, my favorite is Joe Blazik's web site . He doesn't cover Kiev rangefinders in detail, though.

Has a lot of FSU cameras, and some eclectic things too. |

If you are looking for a site with nice pictures of Soviet RF's that will hook you first time and turn you into a rabid FSU shooter/collector overnight Jim's web site gets my top vote

I like http://www.fotoua2.com/index0.html
It's a comprehensive collector's guide, much like an online version of Princelle's FSU book. Not much about repairs and stuff though. If you want to learn how to repair things, I agree about Rick Oleson's camera notes, and I like Tom Tiger's Zenit Site if you want some good info on FSU Zenits.
Unfortunately, for the Kiev enthusiasts, one of my favorite Kiev sites ( Kiev Survival Site ) has gone down...
