1970 Kiev 4 Rangefinder

The Kiev 4 is fitted with a Selenium cell light meter which still shows some signs of life, but only if you point it directly at the sun. Twenty years after the first production run for Kiev rangefinders, the Soviet push for quantity rather than quality is starting to show and, although the camera works well enough, everything has a more industrial feel to it.
