Kiev 88CM with 30mm F3.5 Arsat Welcome to the Kievaholic Klub pages!

Yes, we love (and sometimes hate) our Kiev cameras. Some call us crazy. Some think we're a bunch of losers who can't afford "real" cameras. Heck, those people may even be partially right!

But most of us really do enjoy using our funky, temperamental, unforgiving cameras. Take a tour of this site and you may see why.

Or *gasp* you may even find yourself WANTING one to call your very own!

Be warned: Purchasing your first Kiev camera could be the beginning of a slide down towards becoming a Kievaholic. But at least you wouldn't be alone. (^_^)
