Kiev 88 set

[Aldous Lau]

Ok, I am planning to get a medium format film camera and 500cm is always my first choice. I accidentally saw someone in Hong Kong selling a a set of Kiev 88 which really catch my eyes. It includes 2 x 120 film back with a body, Mc volna 80 mm F2.8, MNP-3 65mm F3.5, TTL viewfinder, waist viewfinder, 2 color filters, 2 camera strips and original leather case, overall 95% new. The whole set cost usd 500 and I believe the price negotiable to about usd 460
Anyone own the Kiev 88 and can share your comments pls. I am still thinking whether to get the Kiev 88 set or not since the price is very attractive with all the components and the price is very affordable, but Hasselblad is Haselblad, thanks

I've never used a Kiev 88 and they do have a following. Personally though, I'd stay with Hasselblad.
