Kiev 88 TTL
The Kiev 88 TTL is a Soviet-built medium format 6x6 single lens reflex camera, derived from the Kiev 88 line and fitted with a through-the-lens metering prism. It was positioned as an affordable alternative to Western medium format SLRs, offering interchangeable backs and waist-level or metered prism finders.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Kiev 88 TTL have ranged from around £88 to £400, with the two recorded sales sitting either side of a roughly £250 midpoint. As of 2026, what a Kiev 88 TTL is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, whether the TTL prism is functional, and which lens and back are included.
