this was the one that was in the Classifieds a week or so ago. I am thinking of the Navy Blue Lizard from Aki-Asahi.

Hi guys...
Glad I can get in, on the first page of this one.
I bought the K4a last year, and the J8M 53/2 [$19-]
is one of my best lenses. NOTE: Kiev owners:
How is the spacing between neg frames?
AND: John, what finder is that on your
gorgeous black Kiev?
Thanks & ciao, mike

It is a FSU 35mm finder ( no Bright lines ). that was meant for the J12. I also have a Helios finder that covers 25,85 & 135.

Ruben gave me a Helios type finder that says,
"Wide" and "Tele." Looks like _o_ and is very
handy on my M2 ;-)
To dazedgoneby:
How do you like the CV 75/2.5?

I like the CV75 very much. I've gotten some sharp shots out of it, but nothing worth sharing (my fault, not the lens).
In the interest of veering back on topic...Moskva 5.

John,
Black Kievs look great with a blue suit.... (click). I'm sure it will look even better with a little lizard texture.

I'm actually thinking about selling my Kiev's(but now maybe only one) but, after looking at all of these photographs of FSU's I don't know what to do!
Nice cameras everyone!

Going through this thread just makes me sad to realise that there's so many cameras I could yet own ... and if I don't stop browsing ... may!
