Which country is the HIEV camera made in? What brand is it?

Soviet camera, paraxial, I've heard of it It should be Kiev.

After World War II 1946, Arsenal experienced a thorough reorganization. Arsenal was famous for its superb technology before the war. At this time, the equipment and raw materials of Zeiss Yikang Factory were obtained according to the War Compensation Law. Everything shipped from Germany stayed in Moscow marshalling station for several months and was distributed everywhere. KMZ got everything from lenses to optical instruments, such as the famous 6×9 Super Kontha. Arsenal factory gets 35 mm Contac. Zeiss's machinery, tools, equipment and molds came to Kiev with German engineers and experts. In the following days, the Lenin factory in Arsenal was ready to start production. Krasnogorsk made the first Kiev camera and lens using Contex components. At first, 50mm/f2 and 50mm/f 1.5, 1948, 85mm, 135mm and 35mm biogon heads were successively produced.

These bodies and lenses are assembled from German parts. After this batch of raw materials was used up, the arsenal quickly started the production line for manufacturing precision and high-quality cameras. Moreover, at the end of 1949 and the beginning of 1950, the arsenal made copies of Contax II and Type III with exposure meters. 1955- 1956 These cameras are called Kiev II a and IIA. Kiev's annual output of 50,000 cameras is proof of Soviet achievements. Tass advertised that "workers in the capitalist world can't achieve such achievements". 1957, the arsenal introduced another famous camera Hasselblad 1000F Ukrainian Copy -6× 6 Saliute to the Soviet people. In the same year, we began to produce replicas of Minolta 16-VEGA.

1March, 965 18, with astronaut a leonov's space travel, his Kiev 10 was also a great success.

At the beginning of 1966, Kiev produced the earliest 35mm automatic SLR with metal shutter. 1974 Kiev 15TEE became the first 35mm TTL SLR in the Soviet Union. 1970 In order to commemorate the birthday of Lenin 100, a 6X6 Kiev 6S SLR and a large number of supporting lenses appeared. 197 1 year, the arsenal became an arsenal enterprise consortium. In the same year, MMZ became Beomo and Fett became a federal consortium.

Like other Soviet enterprises with millions of workers, arsenals are famous for cameras and photographic equipment, and also produce military, medical and scientific instruments. As the parent company, KMZ controls several peripheral enterprises, such as VEGA in Uman and PROGRES in Nezlin.

Arsenal also regularly provides photographic equipment for space missions such as Soyuz and Mir.

1994 Ukraine also produces Kiev 88 with Kiev 60 bayonet, which can use the same lens as Kiev 90. Kiev 18 and Kiev 19M still produce 35mm cameras and support a large number of Nikon bayonet lenses. Kiev 35AM and pocket machine Kiev 30M continue to produce after many improvements.

Kiev "kontex"1947, the output is less than 500 sets.

Kiev "48"1948, the output is less than 2000 units.

Kiev "49"1949, the output is less than 2000 units.

These Kiev and Zeiss Contax are exactly the same, which is not surprising, because they use exactly the same raw materials. 35mm viewfinder, linkage ranging; Metal longitudinal curtain blinds; Exchangeable back; The detachable scroll engraved with CONTAX was changed into KNEB or detachable metal cassette with the words Kiev engraved on it. These spools are not common to zorki; Self-portrait; Double card port; There are the following interchangeable lenses.

The lens of the inner card has two heads:

Sk-Sonnar Krasnogorsk 50mm/f2kmz;

SK-Sonnar Krasnogorsk 50mm/f 1.5 KMZ；

From the end of 1949 to the beginning of 1950, Kiev developed the techniques of relief, shaping and polishing. There are few changes in the prototype, but more chrome-plated parts are used. As can be seen from the number of fuselage and lens, the output in the first three or four years is very low, about 5000 sets per year. 1949 KMZ also produced some 50mmf/2 lenses together with zorki. 1950 These shots are called Jupiter 8. 1955, Jupiter was built by an arsenal.

The Kiev II model 1950- 1955 is the same as the Kiev Contax model 1947-49, but a new signboard is added, and the inside of the bottom bracket is slightly changed to be more stable.

Kiev II A model 1955- 1959 is the same as Kiev II model, but it is equipped with flash synchronization, and the position of shutter release button is more reasonable. The output increases by about 15000 units every year.

Kiev III model 1952- 1955 may be produced at the same time as Zeiss Yikang exposure meter and hood, and Kiev III is the reasonable result of the development of this system. The technical features are the same as Kiev II, and it is a non-linked selenium exposure meter.

Kiev type III a, 1955- 1959, is the same as Kiev type III, but with flash synchronization and improved shutter release button. Kiev II a and III a fuselage are equipped with Jupiter 8 lens assembled by arsenal.

On the basis of Kiev 4, there is a shutter release lever, a shutter of11000 second and a huge correction viewfinder. The Arsenal launched a new camera Kiev 5 at 1965.

Kiev 5 (pre-production) 1965- 1966, 35mm linkage ranging, viewfinder with parallel parallax correction; The epithelial sleeve is engraved with the words "Kiev 5"; Longitudinal curtain blinds; Speed b,1/2-11000s; Self-portrait; Die-casting metal shutter release lever; Flash synchronization; Film counting window; Exposure calculation panel from ASA20-320; ; Vertical rewinding wrench; No internal bayonet; Jupiter 8NB 50mm/f2 lens is fixed on the outer bayonet.
