Very nice. I look forward to your views on it. I've been thinking about getting one of those too. I wonder how close it will be to your Pentacon Six.

I would also recommend to get the East German lenses rather than the Russian ones. The Biometar and Sonnar especially are very good. The Flektogon is good as well, but needs to be stopped down a bit more. Sticky aperture blades however are not uncommon on Zeiss Jena lenses.
This should be a nice combo. You're right on kiev 88. In Russia we also avoid this rather troublesome ukrainian lady - it's shutter is really bad. kiev 60 will be good, but oh my, it's soooo heavy. Sonnar 180 plus kiev 60 is absolutely best for portraits, at least that's what they say.

That looks to be in fantastic shape. Can you post a pic later that shows it next to the FM2 so we can get an idea of scale?

Excellent shot, Sean. It looks like you have a good copy. Let's hope your work-around for the overlapping frames works.

Thanks for those comparison shots too. I've seen the Kiev 60 called an SLR on steroids. That might be an understatement!

impressive!

as a side note: I tought the term zebra's was reserved for 35mm lenses from Meyer-Optik Görlitz, like the Domigor 135mm. At least I learned something today!

That's part of the fun of having one of those Russian/Ukrainian made gems, isn't it? The good thing is a little flat paint should make it work like a charm.
