Kiev 80

The Kiev 80 is a Soviet-made medium-format single-lens reflex camera that takes 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. It was produced in Ukraine as part of the Kiev line of Hasselblad-inspired modular SLRs, aimed at photographers who wanted a waist-level medium-format system at a lower price than Western equivalents.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Kiev 80 have sat in the £120–£200 range across the two verified results on file, with a midpoint around £160. Today the model remains a budget entry point into 6x6 shooting, and what a Kiev 80 sells for at saleroom level depends heavily on whether the body is paired with a working lens and film back.
