The Start is a SLR camera body made by KMZ.

The Start cameras have their own type of lens mount, the Start bayonet, and a fast focal plane shutter made of cloth. The shutter has a wide range of speeds from 1 to 1/1000 sec. , with flash synchronized speed 1/30 sec. . The aperture release lever of the mounted lens is pressed together with the shutter release, a conception similar to that of some old Exakta lenses on Exa and Exakta cameras. The viewfinder screen has a dual prism rangefinder in the central area. The finder's pentaprism is removable. Typical standard lens was a Helios-44 58mm f/2.

The Start takes 24x36mm frames on 35mm film running between two Kiev cassettes, and is equipped with a knife to cut the film[1].

Some are lettered in roman italics, Start, some in cyrillic, Старт.
