View source for Kiev-30

The '''Kiev-30''' is a [[subminiature]] camera of Soviet production. For transport in the vest pocket it is collapsible to 3/4 of its size. On the camera back is a two slice analog calculator for shutter/aperture determination with [[ASA|ASA-value]] and [[Sunny_16#Weather_Symbols|weather symbols]] as input variables. Its concept is a little like that of the [[Minolta-16]], but it has the advantage of having a third thumb-wheel for focusing that appears when the camera is opened for use. It was the first [[Kiev]] subminiature camera that uses cassettes with unperforated film to achieve a larger frame size, but even [[Minolta 16]] cassettes may fit.
