Versandnformation
The Kiev-11 is an extremely rare prototype SLR developed at the Arsenal factory in Kiev as a successor to the Kiev-10 Automat in the late 1960s. The model retained the distinctive Automat bayonet mount and exposure automation system, while incorporating technical modifications, including a revised light-meter arrangement.
Unlike the Kiev-10, the Kiev-11 never entered series production and was manufactured only in a very small number of test examples.
Examples finished in grey paint are particularly notable and are generally regarded as experimental or pre-series bodies, differing from the standard chrome finish of production Kiev-10 cameras. Such grey-painted versions underline the prototype character of the model and are of exceptional rarity.
This example, in good condition, comes with a matching Helios-65 Automat 2/50mm lens, no. 660056.
