Instructions for Use

1. GENERAL
The KIEV 88 CM is a medium-size reflex
camera with a curtain shutter and inter-
changeable film magazines of sizes 6x6
and 6x4,5 cm.
The camera is intended for amateur pho-
tography. With a proper handling and care
it will enable you to obtain high-quality
slides, large-size black-and-white or col-
our pictures.
The camera is designed for use of a 61.5
mm wide roll film (type 120 or 220).
The camera curtain shutter offers expo-
sure times over a range from 1/1000 to
1/2 s and manual exposure "B".
The shutter cocking mechanism is inter-
locked with the film transport mechanism,
thus preventing double film exposure.
The camera is provided with a prism
viewfinder TTL/SPOT measuring the ex-
posure in integral or spot metering mode.
The camera comes complete with ARSAT
C 2,8/80 with a multilayerantireflection coat-
ing which upgrades the image quality and
enhances its contrast due to better inte-
grated transparence and reduced light dis-
persion.
The focal length of the lens is 80 mm, the
relative aperture is 1:2.8, the diaphragm
setting limit is 22, the near focusing limit is
0.6 m.
The sharp focusing is carried out with the
aid of a microraster or a rangef inder wedge
arranged in the centre of the field of view
and with the aid of a ground-glass surface
or distance scale.
The camera design envisages the use of
interchangeable lenses fitted on a bayonet
of "Pentacon Six" type.
The hood-type viewfinder enables the pic-
ture to be viewed on the ground glass with
