Re: Kiev 60 and 30mm lens

[Mr645@xxxxxxx]

The Kiev 60 and 30mm fisheye are an incredible value.  No, they certainly 
will not equal something like a Hassy 503CW and 30mm T*, but for the money 
the Kiev is hard to beat.

Typically the Kiev lenses are sharp, sturdy but prone to flare.  This can be 
especially problematic with the fish eye because it will find the sun often.  
The careful shooter that is aware of the Kive shortcomings can create images 
on par with anything out there.  If the camera breaks, it's probably not 
worth fixing.  A new Kiev 60 body is probably less than a repair on almost 
any other camera.
