Kiev Vega
The Kiev Vega is a Soviet-era subminiature camera produced in Ukraine, designed for small-format film and aimed at the compact-camera segment of the post-war Soviet market.
Sales data for the Kiev Vega is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £1,000 from 2013, which sits well above what most Soviet subminiatures fetch at saleroom level today. With only one data point, a reliable current market price, value or range cannot be quoted, and buyers should treat what this model sells for as highly condition- and completeness-dependent.
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.
