Hi,

some time ago I bought a used Kiev 88 at ebay. The camera of course has
some problems but most of them I could accept. The biggest and not
acceptable problem I got with the film magazine. Because of a
misscalibration the photos are blurred.
I would be pleased to get some information about the callibration of the
film magazine.

bye

Miscalibration of what and how. I don't understand what you mean. Do you
think the distance from the lens to the film plane is wrong? or what?

yes that is what I mean. I also got an answer from Wiese Fototechnik, a
seller of Kiev Cameras in Hamburg. He told me that each film magazin
has to be adjusted for the Kiev 88 but he didn't tell how to do this.
It seems that I have to send the camera and the magazin to Wiese for
the adjustment.
