This is a rangefinder camera previously called "Contax". In the brochure of 1960 we can read: "The apparatus...is mainly intended for newspaper photographer's work and skilled amateur photographers". It has the metallic shutter of "jalousie" type, movement of shutters is top-down along the short side of a shot. Exposures are V, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500, 1250. The shutter is equipped with the automatic releaser with speed 9-15 sec. The camera is completed with the standard lens "Jupiter 8M". Both simplex and double-cylinder cassettes can be used.

Works properly (light meter is in working condition / but I can't guarranty the absolutely accurate work of light meter due to the long time has passed). Lens is clean, no scratches. Focusing and stopping is smooth. Viewfinder is clean. Comes with case, lens cap, take-up spool.

Made by Arsenal factory in Kiev, Ukraine. This is collectible camera. This camera body is Contax copy. This camera is here rarer than the "common" Fed-s and Zorki-s. Kiev cameras have very well optic and are able take surprisingly well pictures.
