Soviet Camera Exhibition:

History of the Soviet Photographic industry 1930-1992

Kiev Street Fashions

 

The main Soviet factories all got involved with the stereo bug at one time or another. KMZ produced  stereo Kits for the Zorki-C & the Zenit E, Lomo produced the 6x6 stereo Sputnik, Arsenal made a stereo adapter for the Kiev 2 and Fed had a stereo lens for the Fed 2 and the 35mm Fed 'Stereo'

Zenit E with stereo adapter. The kit came complete with viewer for stereo transparencies.

Zorki 2 with stereo

Shown here on the Zorki C this stereo adapter, similar to the Arsenal product, has its own base which screws onto the camera.

complete kit for Zorki

Kiev 2a with stereo adapter modelled on the Carl Zeiss variant. I've made some superb stereo slides using this setup with the standard Jupiter 8 lens.

For both the Kiev and the Zorki variants I use the 85mm viewer and rotate the front window from horizontal to vertical. The framing seems to be spot on.

The Sputnik is a Bakelite stereo camera utilising many of the parts of the Lubitel. It's rare to find these cameras now as they are so fragile. If you drop a Sputnik it will literally explode, leaving you with a scattering of splinters and some assorted metal and glass parts. Came complete with viewing frame and adjustable viewing lenses.
