Kiev 10 Automat
The Kiev 10 Automat is a Soviet-built 35mm SLR. It was produced in Ukraine and is noted for its fan-shaped metal shutter and selenium-cell automatic exposure system, an unusual configuration among SLRs of its era.
Auction evidence for the Kiev 10 Automat is thin: a single UK hammer result of £500 in 2009 is the only data point on file, so today's worth is best treated as indicative rather than settled. As that figure is a saleroom hammer price excluding commission, the wholesale level achieved at auction can vary widely with cosmetic condition and whether the automatic metering still functions.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kiev 10 Automat worth today?
On the limited evidence available, one UK auction sale recorded a hammer price of £500, so that figure is the only firm reference point for what the camera sells for at saleroom level.
How much does a Kiev 10 Automat sell for at UK auction?
Only a single hammer result of £500 is on file, which means the price a given example fetches can swing considerably depending on cosmetic condition and whether the meter is still responsive.
What should I check before buying one?
Confirm the selenium meter still reacts to light, that the metal shutter fires cleanly at all speeds, and that the body and lens show no fungus or corrosion, as parts and service are scarce.
