+ | '''Salyut-S''' (or Salut-S = Салют-C) is a medium format [[SLR]] film system camera, manufactured by [[Arsenal]] Factory, in Kiev, Ukraine, former USSR and produced between 1972-1980, quantity 30.000. The meaning of Salyut is 'salutation', i.e. greeting with respect, as in a salute. It also means firework, something that rises. | ||
+ | The name appears as Салют-С in Cyrillic, thus the model is sometimes called the Salyut-C. | ||

+ | Salyut-S is the very modified model of the first Salyut, and featured a modified lens mount that has the same thread and adds the familiar plunger for diaphragm setting. This allows full automation of the lenses and the use of extension tubes and a teleconverter. | ||
+ | The Salyut/Kiev 88 models are sometimes affectionately known as the "Hasselbladski" due to their resemblance to a [[Hasselblad]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Kiev 80]] (1975-80) cameras are the export type of Salyut-S with a new name plate. The camera was also exported as the '''Zenit''' (or '''Zenith''') '''80''', with an Industar-29 80 mm f/2.8 lens.<ref>{{McKeown12}} p464.</ref> | ||

Salyut-S type 2 (1980) image by Süleyman Demir (Image rights) |
Salyut-S (or Salut-S = Салют-C) is a medium format SLR film system camera, manufactured by Arsenal Factory, in Kiev, Ukraine, former USSR and produced between 1972-1980, quantity 30.000. The meaning of Salyut is 'salutation', i.e. greeting with respect, as in a salute. It also means firework, something that rises. The name appears as Салют-С in Cyrillic, thus the model is sometimes called the Salyut-C.
First models of Salyut were probably the near copies of Hasselblad 1000F or 1600F. Salyut-S is the very modified model of the first Salyut, and featured a modified lens mount that has the same thread and adds the familiar plunger for diaphragm setting. This allows full automation of the lenses and the use of extension tubes and a teleconverter. The Salyut/Kiev 88 models are sometimes affectionately known as the "Hasselbladski" due to their resemblance to a Hasselblad.
Kiev 80 (1975-80) cameras are the export type of Salyut-S with a new name plate. The camera was also exported as the Zenit (or Zenith) 80, with an Industar-29 80 mm f/2.8 lens.[1]
Kiev 88 (1980-?) is similar to Salyut-S with a hot shoe for flash. Kiev-88 TTL is a Kiev-88 with the addition of the metered prism.
The Salyut was the first attempt by the Soviet camera industry to produce a sophisticated SLR medium format camera. The Soviets claimed that both the Hasselblad and the Salyut were derived from a Nazi prototype, however none of these supposed forerunners have ever been seen so this origin is dubious. These cameras were very expensive at 400 Roubles, which represented 6 months salary to the average Soviet citizen.
