Kiev 303
The Kiev 303 is a Soviet-era subminiature camera produced in Ukraine. It was sold as a compact, pocketable still camera rather than as a system camera, and falls within the family of small-format Kiev models offered to amateur users.
Sales data for the Kiev 303 is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2014 saw an example sell for £800, which is a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail price. With only one data point, it is not possible to state a reliable median or range for what a Kiev 303 is worth today in 2026, and individual results will swing heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day.
Sales History
