Almaz TSVVS - Camera

Manual focus Contax/Kiev mount 35mm rangefinder camera made in the Soviet Union. This camera was never produced commercially but is known as the "General's FED" for its prevalence in the Soviet military. The model name of this camera, TSVVS, stands for Topographical Service of the Air Force in Russian. It is very similar to a FED rangefinder camera with a modified bayonet mount for accepting Contax/Kiev mount lenses. These cameras are usually, but not always, found paired with a lens made by Carl Zeiss. Metal body available in silver.
