I received my kyiv-88cm-MLU yesterday. The French and Ukrainian postal services worked well. My kyiv is 100% functional again and I am 100% satisfied with your services and the way you take care of the customer because everything is clear. Thank you Mr Vartanyan, thank you Araxfoto.

Sent my completely broken Kiev-88 off to Arax for a new shutter, CLA, film back repair and light seal replacement. They were very good at communicating throughout, and did an excellent job in repairing the now completely functional camera. Such amazing work these guys are doing.

In the middle of a war, under fire from Russia- in fact, under siege, Gevorg Vartanyan and his crew continue to serve the needs of their customers by doing business in the first place and doing business according to the same high standards that they had before their country was brutally attacked. Packages are shipped and they arrive promptly. Merchandise is sold. Repairs are made. They deserve your full support and confidence. Few companies have done as well under considerably less trying circumstances. Highly recommended to all.

A big thank you to Gevorg and Araxphoto, for the great service, putting my beloved Kiev 88 back into service. With fresh new parts, the camera will out live me. It was worth the investment, with 6 lenses and accessories to keep this camera going, now with a resurgence in film photography.

I received the ARAX 60 today in blue. As with my other ARAX cameras, it is perfect in every way. Your attention to detail is remarkable. The non-metered prism finder is clearer and brighter than on any other medium format reflex camera I own. I truly appreciate your willingness to build the custom model to my specifications. Thanks for all that you do.

My second ARAX 60 arrived yesterday looking every bit as perfect and beautiful as the first one I purchased from you this year. I have to hand it to you, ARAX is able to take a camera made many decades ago and restore it to a camera that looks like it rolled off the assembly line yesterday. I can wear either one of these cameras proudly as I take my daily walks in search of something worthy enough for my ARAX to capture. Thanks to you much for two pristine, beautiful medium format cameras in an era when film cameras in the USA appear to be all but forgotten.

Jeffery Smith, Thu, 15 Apr 2021

I asked ARAX to service and modify one of my Kiev60 to the 6 x 4.5 format. I am super happy with the communication and the service. Just received it this week.
Will shot a roll of film through it soon. :)

My camera and accessories arrived on Monday, and I have to say that I'm most impressed by the fit and finish of the ARAX-60 MLU/SE (Special Edition) Kit. It is all of what you promised, and I can't wait to run some rolls through it. It's great to know that there is still a way to buy a new, quality medium format camera in 2021! Olive green leather is perfect and makes it a real head-turner.

Item arrived in Singapore safely and in well packed box. The project was to mount the prism onto my Rolleiflex 2.8f with a proper adapter. Condition of the prism was superb. Thousand thanks to Araxfoto for the infomations and safe shipment till reached the destination. Simply EXCELLENT services. Just can't wait to try in on my camera.

Hello Arax camera engineers,
I have owned your camera for two months now and am very satisfied with it. I have a German language blog about analog photography and have written a detailed article (with sample photos) (in German language): https://analoge-fotografie.net/blog/arax-60/

I just shot my first slide film and everything works fine.
Thank you and your colleagues of ARAXFOTO for continuing of manucaturing and maintenace of 6x6 cameras!

I sent a Salyut-S for shutter repair, MLU modification and CLA to Gevorg Vartanyan. Communication pleasant, clear and effective. Work what done rapidly. Any customization is possible. Fast enough shipment from Kiev. Highly recommended.

Antonio B, Tue, 21 Jul 2020
Norge, Norway


Outstanding product. I've been on the hunt for a tilt shift adapter for awhile, but they go up to $300 or $400 in some cases. Because I only want to use it occasionally for the DOF 'toy effect', I wasn't looking to spend that much. Found a Nikon F to Sony E on this website for $70, and I'm more than pleased with it. Great quality build, unbeatable price.

Mike S, Wed, 01 Jul 2020

I received my ARAX-60 a few days ago with all the accessories. I'm very pleased and was definitely the highlight of my week. Araxfotos is reliable and keep in constant contact throughout the process. I highly recommend.
Previously UkrPoshta has delivered stuff to me in New Zealand in about a week, but because of COVID-19 there are large unavoidable delays (50 days).

Arax are reliable and proffesional camera builders and camera repair specialists, one of the very few, mastering old techniques. All of the Arax, including my 1960 made Kiev 4 with a built in lightmeter works perfect even the meter does, great camera. My Saluyt camera are another great Arsenal/Kiev built masterpiece, great camera. Agreat place to shop photo gear and ask for service, the best people doing first class jobs.

I sent a Kiev 60 with some problems (shutter didn't work, mold in prism) for a complete CLA, Mirror lockup, black finish, interior flock, eyepiece. I sent it from the Netherlands.
Due to holidays it took a little longer but communication was good and today I got my camera back.
It looks brand new and everything is working OK.
Thank you for bringing it back to life

I received your camera on 14/01/2020. It took about 40 days to East Asia. Package was simple but solid. Arax 60 seems like a military truck. Operation is smooth and easy. Thank you for bringing Kiev legacy to 21th century.

Simply lovely camera, lens and kit (2 finders, 80mm lens, and other accessories). The camera functions flawlessly. I couldn't be happier or more satisfied. The best.

Just got your adapter today, same day as an Estonian "straight" ring for Nikon. Expecting one from China to M4/3.
The connecting bayonet as such is a bit thin but it works fine. I tested it with Vega 12B and Flektogon 50 mm: splendid. I had another Pentacon six lens which proved DEFECT. The smell of heated forged iron is still there in your Arax: lovely.
Your item works well, arrived on time and is FUN to use (difficult in the beginning).
The joke about the "frutichki" was appreciated.
You already got your 5 stars rating from me.
I'm utterly convinced by the USE of 6x6 lenses now. I like their "ambiance" (atmosphere). But they are a pain to carry and will prove detrimental to the light DSLR bodies or even worse to the mirrorless cameras. Finally, Kiev 60 (P six) is not practical, but it works.
You'll probably hear of me in future as well (Tilt device?).

I have just received the spot prism for Kiev 88 that I ordered from Arax Foto. Nice accessory, much better than the standard meter prism! Very competent service. Thanks!

It has been already 2 years since I let my old Kiev 80 repaired/upgraded by Arax and since then I have used the camera a lot without any issue! Overall I have been very satisfied with the camera after Arax service, that consisted of Shutter mechanism repair, Complete CLA, Focusing screen replacement to brightest and Flock camera body interior. I recommend!

My Arax CM/MLU I got from you is still working very well. It's never missed a beat - a true testament to the technicians who you have working for you. I also use that Arsat C lens regularly, most often with an adapter on my Sony-A cameras. All the best for the future and season's greetings.

Thank you for the Arax 60 I purchased recently. It is a pleasure to use. The metered prism is convenient and accurate and with the modern focus screen very bright. I have 3 P6's and only 1 is reliable. Not worrying about frame overlap and certain shutter speeds that are inaccurate is wonderful.

Quite dissapointed with the communication I had with Arax. Sent some cameras for servicing and had some requests, but were ignored. Got extra services (flock) and charged for them, though I didn't request them. Repairs might be good though, I can't really tell now, only after time and use I can properly judge. Maybe an isolated case, maybe they didn't like me, but I can hardly recommend anyone else their services...

Just received my ARAX 60. Very fast shipping and incredible good looking camera. Rock solid shutter sound :-). One week after ordering I'm holding the camera already in my hand (sent from Kiev to Doha). Thank you for the perfect transaction. Highly recommended!

Torsten, Wed, 06 Apr 2016

Sent my Kiev 60 for repair a few month ago, shutter mechanism completely stucked, counter was not working for ages, frame spacing was not good as well (11frames instead of 12), well, it was time for an overall check. My camera was sent back less than two weeks after I send it to Arax, which was pretty quick, good communication along the process, and of course the repair & CLA have been fantastically performed. Everything is working perfectly, strongly recommend to invest if you have any issue with your Kiev, a real game changer. Thanks to Arax team for the very good work.

Ben, Sat, 02 Apr 2016

I have received my Kiev 60 flocking kit just a week later. The kit has a nice, unreflective texture, perfect fit and the documentation is good. Thank you, if I need something for my Kiev 60, or a new Arax, I'll be back.

Jakob Szydlowski, Fri, 01 Apr 2016

Thank you. The package was received last week - kudos on the secure packaging. Everything certainly arrived safe and sound. :) Also ran a test roll the previous weekend - I no longer have frame overlaps like I did before the CLA! Needless to say, I am very, very pleased.

The camera is since yesterday at home. I feel very pleased with the kit. All in it is really awesome. In a pair of days I will start to shot with it. I want to really thank you for all your efforts. Finally I've only paid 20 � for the taxes. You did it really great. I would like also to congrat you for the great work you're doing with the Kiev cameras and Arsenal lenses. For every need, don't hesitate: you have a friend here in Spain.

I just wanted you to know the viewing screen arrived two days ago. Thankyou! I've installed it on my Hasselblad 500cm and already it's fantastic - at least a stop brighter all over and the rangefinder-like split focus works fantastically with a prism or the waist level finder, even in low light with my F4 lenses. I'm very happy with the improvement.

Good quality product, I advice anybody willing to by a MF camera to go for it With former Volna/Zeiss lenses this provide very high results for a very affordable price too! Thanks ARAX for your support and also for continuing to produce such type of cameras!

I have done business with Gevorg at Arax twice and in both cases the items ordered were shipped immediately, arrived in 10 days or less and were well packaged and in new condition when received. Arax produces high quality medium format cameras and accessories and knows how to do business. I would recommend Araxfoto to anyone wanting to get into medium format photography.
Thanks for everything!

I recieved the cameras some week ago (got stuck in Swedish customs...), all seems to be fine! I've shoot one roll with the Salyut with no problems and the Kiev seems to work fine as well. Very nice work indeed! Thank you very much for your service!

I had acquired a used Kiev60 from an ebay vendor in Canada and while it was cosmetically gorgeous it had mechanical issues.
1 Infinity focus was off calibration
2 the flash would not fire at any speed
3 The shutter would trip if you had it set at a low speed & cocked it--it would just fire
Arax fixed all those issues and installed a mirror lock up for $129 which included postage back to the states--the camera is all better :) Keep in mind that the camera has to go 1/2 way around the world, be repaired, then shipped back. It took about 5 weeks--2 weeks to get there--a week to be worked on then 2 weeks or so to come back. All things considered this is excellent service


Daniel Keating, Tue, 22 Sep 2015

I was very tentative about sending my camera off to be repaired, especially overseas. But it arrived safely and it got back to me in great time. Everything works fantastically and while I was waiting all my questions were answered promptly and clearly. I look forward to many more years of shooting with my Kiev 88 and and will definitley know where to go if I have any more issues.

I wanted to let you know that I received the shift adaptor in today's mail. I am quite pleased with the quality of the adaptor. The engineering and quality of materials is excellent. The craftsmanship and quality of construction makes this item a far superior choice to any comparable item available on the market today.

Finally I have received the package containing camera strap and filter set, all securely wrapped in bubble foil,so no risk of damage to the content. Due to a strike at the German Post (!!) it took quite a time for the Package to reach my place here in Germany. Thank you very much!

Got a pentacon 6 to eos tilt shift adapter and it arrived very quickly. Already used it to shoot a short film using some old Kiev lenses. This was an excellent buy and well worth the money. Thanks.

I received my ARAX-CM-MLU/SE yesterday, in perfect packaging and condition. All i can say is: Thank you Gevorg! From my first writting to you for ordering and advices to your last mail to tell me you were sending my package, everything went just fine. All i'm waiting for now is to try the camera you made me and to enjoy taking great pictures. Many thanks again, Gevorg!

My finder arrived safely this morning. I have just tried it on the camera quickly and it seems excellent. So far as I can see it looks beautifully made and I am sure will work really well. Many thanks and very best wishe.

I collect cameras & still shoot 35mm and medium format. I was 25 years in the photo lab business and am pleasantly surprised how affordable 120 format cameras have become. I have pieced together bronicas for a little over $100. I acquired a used Kiev 6c and loved the quality so much I looked into the line of cameras more. I found Arax and couldnt believe I could get a new 6x4.5 body shipped to me for barely $300 USD including postage. It arrived in 7 days from the Ukraine--amazing. I have a prism & waist level finder and lenses from the Kiev 6c that fit right on which is a tremendous savings. If anyone has apprehensions about ordering from across the pond I would say stop fearing "what ifs" and go for the good deal.

A few days ago I ordered something for my Kiev-88-TTL camera at //araxfoto.com Beside the really friendly and accommodating contact with Arax Photo's owner (G.Vartanyan) I was very much delighted about the prompt and good service. Fast answers to all of my questions, quick delivery shortly after my order, well-packed goods - everything perfect! Before shipping I was told delivery could take about 10 to 20 days. In fact mail arrived after 8 days only, without any damage. Thanks a lot from Eastern Germany! Especially I was very much surprised that I could even order a manual for use (Kiev-88) in German - no re-print, original, fine.

just received my latest order 2x Kiev film backs, absolutely Superb!! it took less than 10 days for them to arrive as did the other two orders, the quality of your items are superb and very affordable as i'm a pensioner and don't have a lot of money to spare, i'm now looking forward to getting a 45mm lens, as they look superb as well, "fantastic service"

Thank you for all the supports. A few days ago I have successfully and safely received the package from Ukraine without any damages or troubles. The finder and body is working properly, and is in good condition. I will definitely recommend you guys to my camera mates for buying medium format cameras.

I just received my box all the way from Kiev. I don't know how you did it, but here it is. The funny thing to me is that this came to me all the way to Alaska. Here, we live in the Post Office. We are constantly ordering the things we need and having them shipped here. I once ordered a sweater from Seattle, WA, and it never made it. Another one, - I had a box once delivered from a bike shop in Vermont. Great, wrong CUSTOMER!
But you did it, and I don't know how, but you did it. I think I ordered this on 2/5 or so, and about 10 days later, poof, from Kiev to Alaska, and the box was in great shape and so is the camera. Wow!
Thank you so very much for shipping this to me and for your outstanding service. This is the real deal. Thank you. I will be getting all the assessories for this.
