Hello everyone,

I recently aquired a rather quirky Kiev 88, with a Bayonet screw mount. Unfortunately, I've realized a little too late that

the B screw mount limits the potential lens range compared to the Kiev 88CM which has the Pentacon 6 lens mount.

With the Pentacon 6 mount, it must be recessed INTO the body itself, making it kind of a one way street if I get it

done to my camera body. Where as the B screw mount is rumored to be the same dimensions or thread size as the

Hasselblad 1000s or 1600f camera...hmmmm

Seeing as the Kiev 88 is a virtual clone of these two Blad models, my question is then, will any 1600f or 1000s

lenses fit the almost virtual clone, Kiev 88 body?

Information on the web is scarce, but it sounds as if the Hassy lens mount in these two models is a B screw mount,

but who can be sure! I'd be glad to hear from anyone with prior experience, or even better, an extensive Hasselblad

lens database inside their head.

Thankyou very much in advance,

Thomas

Ah it works again : )

Thanks very much Larry - the spool advance reset spool thing does need to be turned counter clockwise, more than i realized. I was pushing down and going anti clockwise, but I met a resistance i thought was normal, which you had to stop at. You actually need to push through it (mine is extremely stiff) until it clicks and locks, then it's in film mode and ready to use.

Thanks again, I can't wait to compare it's picture quality with my Mamiya c33!

Hi everybody,

I've recently aquired an Ikoflex IC. About four minutes after testing its functionality, the shutter release button has

frozen, and is also cocked - not only that, but the film advance wheel meets no resistance anymore either, and

endlessely spins, rendering it totally unusable. It may be part of the double exposure prevention system; you have to

have the view finder box open, the shutter button facing outwards for it to work, but unfortunately none of this has

been to any avail.

If anybody knows about the IKOFLEX cameras, or has experience a similar problem with a locked shutter release

button, please help me - I'm being driven nuts trying to fix the things.

Thanks very much in advance

Tom
