I have a Kiev 4 and 4A and used the Kiev 4 Survival Site to find out how to repair them (light meter on Kiev 4 and rangefinder on 4A) using parts from a third donor camera bought on ebay for £15.00. This amazing site contains detailed articles history, operation, dismantling and repairing of these cameras and lenses. Tried to access the site yesterday (7th August 2020) to find out how to lubricate the focusing on a newly purchased Jupiter 9 and a message appeared stating that "Due to aging hardware, TELUS has made the decision to shutdown Subscriber Web Domain Hosting and FTP Service".
GUTTED!
Searched the net but can't find the articles anywhere else. Ideas from anyone on how these are articles can be obtained would be really appreciated. Getting these camera to work has been a rewarding activity during the recent Coronavirus lock down in the UK and I haven't finished yet.
