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.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a Kiev Vega worth today?
There is insufficient public auction data to quote a reliable figure; the only verified UK hammer result on file is £1,000 from 2013, which is not representative of typical current values.
What does a Kiev Vega sell for at auction?
Recent UK auction evidence is too sparse to give a current price range, and any quoted value should be treated cautiously until further hammer results are recorded.
