Strongly recommend reading users manual before operating and taking photos. Users manual can be obtained free with optional donation from Internet. Film counter is working as it should. Take up spool is in place. Viewfinder and rangefinder are clear and bright. Rangefinder appears accurate. Self-timer was tested by pushing it counterclockwise all the way down and is working as it should. Built-in selenium light meter is responding nicely to light but no guarantee as to accuracy. Lens is a Jupiter-8M, 1:2/50mm. This lens is the successor to the famous Carl Zeiss Sonnar 2/50mm lens. Lens is in excellent condition and focusing is smooth without any tightness or looseness. Glass appears clear and bright without scratches. There are no traces of oil on shutter curtain and aperture blades. Camera has been stored in a temperature controlled environment. Comes with lens cap. It would be difficult to find one in better cosmetic and operating condition. The build quality on these older KIEVs is exceptional when compared to the later ones manufactured in the late 1970s and 1980s. You won't be disappointed.
