More color digital photos from the central Massachusetts foundry are here.

These were shot with a Kiev 60 medium format camera and Volna f2.8 80mm lens, on Ilford Delta 3200 film.

The Kiev 60 is a Ukrainian camera made in the "Arsenal" plant which used to also manufacture weapons for the Soviet Union. These cameras are iffy, quirky knock-offs of the East German Pentacon Six (which, in turn, is probably a knock-off of the western Pentax 67). However, their lenses are pretty good copies of East German Zeiss lenses. You can also buy the actual Zeiss lenses for them, but they are a bit more expensive, but still nothing compared to if you were shooting Mamiya, Hasselblad or another western-made camera. For less than $200, you can get into medium format, with ground-glass focusing, and a couple near-Zeiss quality lenses, if you're willing to put up with some of the quirks. Of course, Mamiya, Hasselblad and Pentax don't want you to know that. ;)
