Anyone know of a reliable source for NEW Kiev 60 bodies ONLY in the US? The reason I emphasize NEW is that I hear that the later bodies have corrected the internal reflections problem. I know that Kalimex has them for $110, but Im a little leery about sending my cash to Eastern Europe. Kiev USA and Continent Wide sell kits only. Im only interested in the just the body w/a waist level finder.

Thanks

There may be a few sources for you, though I can not speak about quality of the items.

There is a new web site out there:

http://www.camera.kiev.ua/

Also a few guys hear and there who go to the Ukraine. I could get the names if you like.

To my knowledge, I know of no light leak or reflection problems w/ the 66 bodies. (only the shutter leaves on the lens).

There are however, lubrication issues w/ may of the cameras.
