Jupiters, Industars, Helios. True some have been very nice. Indeed, the Jupiter I recently bought certainly produces 6"x4" prints that tower in quality over those produced from my wife's Canon Snappy. (Plus the Kiev is an aesthetically-pleasing camera, plus it cost half the price of a used Snappy). There's a lot of fun in picking up and using Soviet camera kit. It's cheap, and as Marc says, mistakes are never usually costly. Mike
