Kiev SKD-01
The Kiev SKD-01 is a Soviet-era camera produced under the Kiev brand in Ukraine. With only fragmentary public reference material available, this page focuses on what the auction record shows rather than speculative specification detail.
The single recorded UK auction hammer result for the Kiev SKD-01 sits at £19,000 from a 2012 sale, which is wholesale rather than retail and excludes commission. With only one data point on file as of 2026, there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and what the camera is worth today depends heavily on condition, completeness and how strongly two specialist bidders compete on the day. Anyone asking how much an SKD-01 sells for should treat that figure as indicative of the high end achievable at saleroom level rather than a reliable market price.

Why is the price so high for a Soviet camera?
