Andrey Korotich - a photographer who uses an antique Kiev88 camera

The Kiev88 is an early product from 1957, modeled after the Hasselblad F1000, and is a medium-format 120 camera. Some people refer to it as the "poor man's Hasselblad." Its construction is complex, the craftsmanship is rough, and it has a relatively high failure rate, which are its disadvantages. However, its appearance is attractive, it offers comprehensive functions, and it is inexpensive with a full metal structure. The Kiev 88 camera is a very good basic camera suitable for beginners or amateurs, as well as those interested in exploring photography in the 120 format.
