I just received a Kiev-2 from the Ukraine. My first one. I already have 2 Kiev-4A's and one Kiev-4. There is no comparison in quality! The Kiev-2 is much smoother and better built. The shutter is quieter. It is clearly a grade-up in quality from the 4 series.
This camera is from late in the original Kiev-2 series. It has the dual script logo, "Made in the USSR" (in English) and no flash sync. If I had handled it blind folded, I would thought that it was a Contax. I can see why some people say that this camera is a German camera made in the USSR.
If you like this style of camera and have only Kiev 4's and 4A's, I highly recommend that you try a Kiev-2 or 3.
