Kiev 60
The Kiev 60 is a 6x6 medium format single-lens reflex camera produced in Ukraine at the Arsenal factory in Kyiv. Shooting square 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film, it was positioned as an affordable medium format SLR alternative and is widely known for using the Pentacon Six lens mount, which broadens its appeal to buyers researching what a Kiev 60 is worth on the used market.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Kiev 60 have ranged from about £25 to £180, with a median close to £100 across the last few years of saleroom results. As of today in 2026 the camera sells for strong money only when paired with a working metering prism or clean waist-level finder, and rough or seized bodies continue to pull the lower end of that range down.
