Kiev 88

    Hey lads,I have a Kiev 88 which seems to fire fine until I put a back on it. I'm unsure if it's a coupling problem on the camera or are the backs dodgy. Any of you around Dublin have a back I could try on it, basically a two minute test would do it, if it fires and winds with your back on it's my backs that's the problem, if not it's the body, I'd probably have to send it the Russia to get fixed then:(

    Maybe an obvious question, but does it have a dark slide and have you removed it?

    you might find someone in dublin who can service the back though; i suspect they're not massively dissimilar from a hasselblad internally.

    Yes and Yes.

    The only crowd I knew who fixed stuff where DML,are they still around. Have to admit though I'm not a fan,the camera I left in took weeks to get back,that was a long time ago though.

    After a little fiddling the camera seems to work again,I'd still be interested in meeting a kiev owner though,just to compare notes or whatever.
