Larger negatives and transparencies for superior enlargements and reproductions, hand-held portability together with the freedom of ground-glass composing, plus a choice of subject uninhibited by constraints or either image size or equipment: These are the advantages of medium-format photography. These are also the advantages of the Kiev 88 Series. And whether you're an advancing photo-hobbyist or you're already a professional, the versatile Kiev 88 is the perfect interface between your hand, your eye, and your art.
