Kiev Kiev-C

The Kiev-C is a Soviet-era camera produced under the Kiev brand by the Arsenal plant in Ukraine. As a niche model with limited surviving documentation in the data provided, it sits within the broader family of Kiev rangefinder and medium-format cameras associated with the marque.

Sales evidence for the Kiev-C is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer record from 2013 shows a result of £10,000, which is a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a retail price. With only one data point, no reliable median or range can be drawn for what a Kiev-C is worth today in 2026, and the price an example sells for will depend heavily on condition, completeness and buyer interest on the day.

Sales History

Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
