Kiev-Arsenal (photo camera)

Kiev-Arsenal is a Soviet brand of camera (sometimes branded simply "Kiev") manufactured by the Arsenal Factory in Kiev, Ukraine. The design of the medium format cameras was similar to two major cameras of the time, the Hasselblad (for the box design Kiev 8x series) and the Pentax (for the "big SLR" design Kiev 6x series). Both medium format cameras were made with interchangeable lens options, and some of the lenses available are of Carl Zeiss design and manufacture, with famous impeccable image quality.
