GENERAL

The KIEV 88 CM is a medium-size reflex
camera with a curtain shutter and inter­changeable film magazines of sizes 6x6
and 6x4,5 cm.
The camera is intended for amateur pho­tography. With a proper handling and care
it will enable you to obtain high-quality
slides, large-size black-and-white or col­our pictures.
The camera is designed for use of a 61.5
mm wide roll film (type 120 or 220).
The camera curtain shutter offers expo­sure times over a range from

1/2 s and manual exposure "B".
The shutter cocking mechanism is inter­locked with the film transport mechanism,
thus preventing double film exposure.

The camera is provided with a prism
viewfinder TTL/SPOT measuring the ex­posure in integral or spot metering mode.
