Please Allow me to intrduce myself....
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! I dont know if any of you have had that problem before, but it has happen to me 3 time!
I hope this one goes thru???????? Cheers - Michael

FSU CAMERAS - KIEV 3A, 4A-1, 4B-2 AND FED 5B Lens Jupitar 9 Black - single coated -?. Juptitar 12 - Black - late /Viewfinder Juptiar -8 -1959 & 1973 & 1980

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.

When you log in in the form on the up right part of the page, there is a little check-box "keep me signed in".

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

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
