Scott,

When you get it check that your camera back still fits snugly. When I
got mine (an NC-2 style non-metered version) I found the back of the
prism's mounting flange slightly overhung the back of the body
preventing the back from locking. It's not a big deal - ten minutes with
a file solved the problem.

Have fun with the Kiev - it's quite a bargain!
