Actually I hear all sorts of different stories about Russian quality control, from "The inspectors came and threw out the entire production of May 1983" to "the shutter of the Kiev 4 from the 50's is actually much more reliable and more quiet than the Contax II". Certainly we Americans were no better in many industries - consider that everyone in the midwest in the 60's knew that you should never buy an American car that came off the assembly line on Monday.I plan to take all of this as gossip until I see for myself. I have a 1969 vintage Kiev 4A and 1981 vintage Helios 103 on the way from Russia. I'm hoping it will be an interesting restoration project, and a nice shooter when I'm done with it.
