This camera is with me today, with Helios-103. I like Kiev/Contax so much.
On the one hand, Helios-103 is an excellent lens. There is no better lens for this camera.
On the other hand, it's a shame that the blades weren't blackened. In sunny weather, everything inside is simply flooded with reflections. The image suffers, the contrast disappears. 🤷
Unfortunately, all lenses from the late USSR suffered from this. To make cool optics and mechanics, but not blacken the diaphragm blades! Pity and sad, what can I say...
