DO NOT BUY HERE! I ordered a PCS ARSAT H 35/2.8 shift lens for my Nikon, and since I received a confirmation about payment done from 2Checkout.com I wrote to sovietcamera to ask whether the order was ok. They didn't reply (and the lens I "bought" was still shown for sale on the website, with same serial number) as well they didn't reply to my further emails asking for information. Thanks to helpful 2Checkout.com help desk I've obtained full refund. Don't know what has happened, maybe the store doesn't exist anymore... Anyway my advice is: DO NOT BUY HERE!
Whateverist | 12:35:40 6.Jun.2008
I've just bought a camera here and I couldn't be happier with either the product or the service. The camera arrived quickly, was packed securely and in the exact same (pristine) condition as advertised on the site. The seller is very friendly and véry patient, taking the time to answer questions. I would definitely shop here again.
philip | 21:43:49 29.Apr.2008
my Zenit C box set just arrived in excellent condition. The camera is beautiful and in the new-like condition. Very well packaged for delivery. Thank you.

I have got my Kiev II in perfect conditions! Very well packaged for its very long trip from Ukrania to Argentina (almost the other side of the world) which took one month and some more days. Thank you, Vikentiy, also for keeping me informed during the waiting time. Great Service! Ernesto Lacalle

What does mean guarantee if I cannot get any answer to message ?? I ordered a Kiev 4, had to wait a long time to receive it, found a sprocket problem and high shutter speeds inoperative, and asked for help. No answer to my mail means to me "no guarantee". I hoped better !!

Hi i am in Kiev for biz trip now,do you have actual address I can visit?pls send mail to me:xianql@hotmail.com
This is a second order from this store. The service had been top-notch! Pretty fast shipping to United States. I ordered a Shkolnik, Yunkor and Narciss, all three camera are in impeccable condition, just as described on the site. I cannot believe for the age that they had been preserved so well! Thank you very much Vikentiy, we will definitely do business again!

The Zorki-1 is beautiful, I hate to have it in the case. Very smooth and a delight to shoot. The whole kit is very nice. thank you for a high quality product!
Trevor M. | 12:48:30 6.Dec.2005
My Kiev 2a arrived today in Ohio, paid for it on Monday, recieved it the following Monday, ironically at the exact same time I paid for it! Plus the shipping cost was much lower than from other sellers It is beautiful, I've already I shot a roll of film and it came out great, shutter works fine. Even came with an extra takeup spool! Great communication, responded to emails quickly. I asked if I could swap the Jupiter 8 it came with for a Helios 103 and he did so without any additional cost! YOU DEFINITLY HAVE A REPEAT CUSTOMER. NO MORE EBAY FOR FSU CAMERAS! THANKS!!!
Bob L ( Robert lejuez) | 07:36:10 26.Nov.2005
Received my Kiev 4 today, just 7 days after Vikentiy shipped it to me here in NYC. Everything worked like a new camera, even the outside was in super shape. If you need a FSU camera or other parts this is the place to buy it. Super man to deal with and a real gentlement who stands behind what he sells. It's nice to get a camera that doesn't required you to adjust something.
Bob L | 13:14:56 11.Nov.2005
Folks please disregard that stuipid message of mine below, the problem was with my e-mail blocking Vikentiy's replys to me. Vikentiy is in the process of correcting the problems with the camera and in fact has gone out of his way to make things right, can't ask for him to do more then he is. Would not hesitate to deal with him again and I will be doing so very soon. The man is a real gentlemen.
Bob L | 11:12:52 9.Nov.2005
Recived a Kiev4 , No take up spool, selt timer not working and flash failed after only 2 shot, send repeated e-mail about these problems and never received a reply, whay a ripped off.
Robert R. from California | 15:47:38 2.Nov.2005
V ery courteous seller. prompt email response. My Zorki 3M arrived today only 10 days after purchase and exactly as described. Very pleased. Thankyou Vikenty
Robert Lejuez | 11:18:54 2.Nov.2005
Received my Kiev 4 today, camera came in just 12 days here to the USA, Both the camera and Lens were perfect, this is the way to buy cameras from the FSU. Have purchased cameras from others and have alway had to do some repairs, not with this one every thing was right on and worked like it was brand new, will sure to buy again from you. Thanks
Brian S from Albany, CA | 02:19:01 28.Oct.2005
Vikentiy is a true gentleman. I bought a FED 2 (green body) and a Kiev 35A from him. Unfortunately, the Kiev was not working at first so I sent it back. Vikentiy did all he could to replace my Kiev with one he tested himself! Both cameras are excellent shooters and smooth like butter. The quality is very good and the responses are excellent! I highly recommend Soviet Cameras.
Mikael (france) | 05:58:15 1.Sep.2005

Thanks Vikentiy, My Zorkij3-M arrived after a 5 weeks journey, the reason for which is undoubtedly the fact that I am on the other side of the planet in New Zealand.
