Kiev 4M with Jupiter 8 50mm/f2.0. FSU clone of the Contax rangefinder. Good condition (except for meter that does not respond to light). Slight brassing all around but not abused. Film tested; working fine, though I did not test the speeds below 1/25 or the self timer. Glass on J-8 is VG; has very slight cleaning marks and minimal dust. Aperture blades fine. Take up spool included. $75 plus shipping. Paypal OK. 10 day return privilege (less shipping); % to APUG.

A helpful member raised a question as to whether this is a "3" or a "4". It has the 1/1250 shutter speed that suggests a "3". But it has the rewind knob and self timer lever of a "4". It has both the Latin and Cyrillic lettering; some sites say that indicated a "4", but others suggest it was also on the "3".

Based on this site: http://www.fotoua.com/1cameraAlltip.php?st=7&rd=4&usl=4&usl1=kiev&seek1=&seek2=16
it's a Kiev 4, Type 3b. Shutter speed, lettering, shoe (cold, not hot), rewind knob, self timer lever, and s/n all seem to match.

Any further clarification is welcome.
