AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a great medium format camera; sturdy and well-functioning; if you have large hands, this is seriously the first camera that you can hold comfortably... The photos are really very good. I bought the camera some time ago and it was immediately modified and modernized by Roskam Cameras in the Netherlands (one of the best suppliers and experts in Kiev cameras). The last photo shows the report of the modifications. The camera has been fully recalibrated for Western 120 film thicknesses and equipped with a special mirror damping system, which better absorbs the 'clap' of the mirror and prevents blurring; also, this camera comes with manuals and, if needed, repair instructions (which I never actually needed...). I had the ground glass replaced with one that has lines for better composition. The TTL works perfectly. The bag is less good, but you'll probably never use it. I hope someone will put the camera to good use again...
