Description

The Kiev-17 (1975-1984) was the first Soviet camera with the Nikon lens mount. The 17 was introduced in the late 1970s. The big difference between the 17 and later Kiev models is that it doesn't have an internal meter and more of the camera parts were made of metal, making it heavier. It also has shutter speeds from 1s to 1/1000 sec., rather than 1/500 like the Kiev 19 and 19M.
