Friend, you will never be so lucky.  Kiev has produced some superb gear
over the years, and their commitment to the older standards of
hand-assembly and use of quality materials makes most other manufacturers
look rather pale by comparison.  (Quality assurance is Kiev's weak point,
and, on this, they can learn much from Leica.)

Far, far better Kiev than Canon or Nikon or some other computerized,
assembly-line whiz-bang company.
