Kiev-30M is an upgraded version of the legendary Kiev-30, produced by the Arsenal Factory in Kyiv between 1983 and 1990. Like its predecessor, it was designed for 16mm unperforated film, making it one of the smallest fully mechanical cameras ever made in the USSR – often referred to as a spy camera for its discreet size and function. What sets the 30M apart is its refined mechanics, improved film transport system, and modern design with ribbed grip. It’s compact, precise, and full of Cold War character. Type: Subminiature film camera. Film format: 16mm unperforated film in special cassette (not included). Frame size: 13×17 mm. Lens: Industar-M 23mm f/3.5 (coated). 1.5m to infinity. Shutter speeds: 1/30 – 1/200 sec. Aperture range: f/3.5 to f/11. Film advance: Sliding body mechanism (pull to cock). Flash sync: PC sync socket. Power: Fully mechanical (no batteries required). 85 × 40 × 30 mm. Made in: USSR, Arsenal Factory (Kyiv). ? Backstory – From Pocket to Power. I found this Kiev-30M at an antique fair in Chernivtsi, inside a Soviet cigarette case. The guy who owned this never smoked – he just wanted people to think he wasn’t taking photos. After a gentle clean and a full dry test, I was amazed at how smooth the sliding mechanism was. The shutter fires perfectly, the optics are clear, and the camera’s minimalist beauty still holds up. Whether for shooting, collecting, or displaying – this is a pocket-sized piece of espionage history. Fully tested and working. Shutter responsive at both speeds. Lens is clean: no haze, fungus, or scratches. Sliding mechanism smooth and functional. Viewfinder clear and usable. Body in excellent vintage condition – minor wear from age. Film cassette and film not included (reloadable cassettes available online). ? Professionally packaged with bubble wrap and rigid boxes. ? Feel free to send a message if you have questions or need additional photos. ?? The Kiev-30M is more than just a camera – it’s a compact Cold War relic that still works like a charm.
