   May I ask if Kiev 6C is easy to get in your country? I love that camera too, and it seems surprising to me that it is popular abroad.

   hello,chaiseel. In china, there is a website like Ebay, you can get Kiev6c from there.
   but there are not many kiev camera, only about 6,7.In china medium format camera is well known like Hasselblad, or Rolleiflex. but they are really expensive, so we like Kiev 88 or Kiev 6c better, they are not expensive and they are really good cameras. I think not only in china, in Europe kiev cameras are also very very popular.

   They are, though the cheapest medium format camera is still an original LOMO Lubitel (I mean, any of the series, like Lubitel 2 or Lubitel 166B, not Lubitel 166+ from Lomography). Kiev cameras are expensive in Kiev. :)

   dear @chaiseel I also have a lubitel 166b, but I think Kiev 6c is so much better than it. In china Kiev 6c cost about 1500rmb and lubitel 166b costs about 500.

   Kiev 6C is more professional, after all. Lubitel is supposed to be a novice-level camera. For me there is no bad camera, Kiev just seems more surprising to shoot with, as the results are less predictable than with Lubitel.
