Kiev Vega 2
The Kiev Vega 2 is a Soviet-era subminiature camera produced in Ukraine, designed for compact 16mm-style use rather than full-frame photography. It sat at the budget end of the spy/subminiature category when new, aimed at casual users rather than professional reportage.
Sales data for the Vega 2 is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2022 sold for £69, which gives a rough indication of what the model is worth at saleroom level rather than a reliable market range. As of today in 2026 the Vega 2 remains a low-value collector item, and prices at recent UK auction are highly condition-sensitive — clean, working examples with original case and box typically sell for more than loose bodies.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kiev Vega 2 worth today?
Based on the limited sales history available, a Kiev Vega 2 is worth around £69 at UK auction, though with only one recorded hammer price this figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Kiev Vega 2 sell for at auction?
The one verified UK auction record shows a Vega 2 selling for £69 in 2022; clean, fully working examples with accessories may sell for more, while non-functional bodies typically fetch less.
Is the Kiev Vega 2 a good collector camera?
It appeals mainly to Soviet-camera and subminiature collectors rather than users, since film and service support are limited; the low price level reflects its niche rather than broad demand.
