I have been told over and over again that the Kiev 35A produces photos that are very similar to those that come from the Lomo, but at a much cheaper price. I’m all about the cheap, so I’ll gladly give it a whirl. Mine arrived in the mail last week from the Ukraine, and I got batteries for it at Wal-Mart tonight. Now I just have to load it up with film and shoot!
If you’re in the market for one – head on over to eBay. They sell them on the Lomography site now, but they are overpriced there. Go for the cheap!

Sweet! Where did you order yours from?
Thanks,

I got mine from a seller on eBay. Just picked one with a really high rating – I don’t remember who it was. Sorry!
I ordered Todd’s by phone here. The specs on the site are wrong (it’s definitely not a 120 film camera) so ignore them, but the customer service was incredible. Very fast shipping, too!
Thank You both!
