What it is
{"overview":"The Kiev 6C is a Soviet-made medium format single lens reflex camera producing 6x6 frames on 120 roll film. 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.","buying_guide":"Inspect the focal-plane shutter for capping, uneven exposure across the frame, and accurate timing at slow speeds, as shutter faults are the most common reason these cameras are sold cheaply. Check the film advance and frame spacing on 120, the condition of the focusing screen, and the prism for fungus or de-silvering.

Questions
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.
