Kiev 4A

The Kiev 4A is a Soviet-made 35mm rangefinder camera, a variant of the Kiev series derived from the pre-war Contax design. It was positioned as a lower-cost model within the Kiev rangefinder line, omitting the uncoupled selenium meter fitted to the standard Kiev 4.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Kiev 4A have ranged from £45 to £140, with the two recorded sales averaging around £93. As of today in 2026, what a Kiev 4A sells for at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and whether the original case and lens are included; clean, working examples tend to achieve the upper end of that range.
