The Kiev 4M was originally a Russian camera, since Kiev in the late 1970s belonged to the Ukrainian part of the USSR. It is the fourth model from the Arsenal factory, a then-popular clone of the Contax. Better? No — but many times cheaper, and actually not that bad, because even today you can shoot beautiful vintage photos with it, thanks to the included fantastic yet eccentric Helios-103 53mm f/1.8 lens.
