Film Camera Kiev-Vega vintage mini spy cameras 16 mm old kgb ussr Minolta Soviet

Description

Kiev-Vega is a miniature folding camera for 16 mm film. Some time ago I already examined a similar camera - Kiev-30. Vega is its predecessor and generally the first model in the line. The Kiev-Vega family and subsequent similar models are the smallest Soviet serial devices
The Kiev-Vega camera was produced at the Kiev Arsenal in 1960-62. Fixed lens Industar-M 3.5 / 23, focused at hyperfocal distance. With an aperture, for example, f5.6, the width of the RIP was declared from 2.8 meters to infinity.
The diaphragm is double-lobed and forms square holes. Aperture limit - f11.
Curtain shutter with horizontal movement of metal shutters. Located in front of the lens.
The shutter has a constant slit, the shutter speed is regulated by changing the shutter speed.
Three shutter speeds are available - 1/30, 1/60 and 1/200.
The device is equipped with a wired sync terminal (there is no bracket). Synchronization is possible at all three shutter speeds.
The device is designed for a 16-mm perforated non-perforated film 45 cm long. The film holds 20 frames with a format of 10 × 14 mm.
The film is loaded into a cassette in which there are both supply and receive coils without the possibility of their disconnection.
Rewind is not provided.
The weight of my copy without the lens is 160 grams.
Kiev-Vega is really a very small device. Vega's body is entirely made of light metal. The surface is nicely textured.
There are two windows in the front. Smaller for the lens, larger for the viewfinder.
The lens window is covered with a light filter, it is removable. The device comes with 3 light filters: neutral (as a rule, it is worn), yellow and red.
