Hello, quick question: are Kiev 88 prism/wlf finders compatible with Kiev 60? I have a nice Kiev 88 kit and I'm getting a lens adapter to use Kiev 88 lens on Kiev 60 but wondering if finder are compatible.

Thanks

I don't think so; pretty sure not. I have both and vaguely remember trying to interchange them without success.

Kiev-88 prisms are interchangeable with Hasselblad-V prisms, but not with the Kiev-60 or the Pentacon-6 series.

The 88 slides onto the body with the film back removed .
The 60 has a bit of a box section that drops into the body from the top and locks in position .
Two very different designs , so no .
