Kiev 5

The Kiev 5 is a Soviet-made 35mm rangefinder camera, part of the Kiev line produced in Ukraine that descended from the Contax rangefinder design. It sits within the rangefinder segment of the mid-20th-century 35mm market.

At UK auction in the current market, hammer prices for the Kiev 5 have landed in a narrow £45–£50 band across the two recorded sales, with a median near £48. With only a couple of data points, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than firm, and condition and working rangefinder function will swing what a specific example sells for.
