Kiev 6 C
The Kiev 6C is a Soviet-made medium format single lens reflex camera producing 6x6 frames on 120 roll film. It was built in Ukraine and aimed at amateur and semi-professional users seeking a lower-cost alternative to Western medium format SLRs.
Sales data for the Kiev 6C is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £50 in April 2024 is the only reference point on file, so any sense of what one is worth today rests on that lone wholesale-level sale. Saleroom prices at this end of the market are highly condition-sensitive, and a working body with a clean finder and accurate shutter will generally sell for more than a cosmetically tired or untested example.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kiev 6C worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction data available, a Kiev 6C has sold for around £50 at hammer, though the sample size is too small to give a reliable market price.
How much does a Kiev 6C sell for at UK auction?
The only recorded hammer result on file is £50 from 2024; clean, fully working examples may achieve more, but there is not enough sales history to confirm a typical range.
Is the Kiev 6C a good value medium format camera?
At current price levels it remains one of the cheaper routes into 6x6 SLR shooting, but the value depends heavily on mechanical condition because servicing costs can quickly exceed the body price.
