6 export version of Salut camera.

Working condition. Checked, cleaned, lubricated.

Very rare version of the Russian copy of the famous Hasselblad medium format camera. Collector's item, rarity R4.

The Revue 6×6 is a medium format camera. The camera was built by Arsenal in Ukraine, at that time still part of the Soviet Union. In Germany, the model was then sold by Foto-Quelle under its own private label. The Revue 6×6 is based on the Salyut.

The Revue 6x6 is the same as a Kyiv-80 or Zenith-80, they called it Revue for import. But much rarer under this name - Revue 6×6.

Very few such cameras have been made. Real collector's item.
Less common export version of Salyut camera, under name "Zenith-80". Fitted with Industar-29 2.8/80mm lens. "Made in USSR" markings on the side-plate.
Then came the Salyut-S which was exported under the name of the Zenith 80. It’s a copy of the Hasselblad 1000F.

These cameras were very expensive at 400 Rubles, which represented 6 months salary to the average Soviet citizen. This means that production was very limited and these cameras and lenses are rare. Variation three can also be found marked Zenit 80 and were produced for TO&E in England

Production country Soviet Union, Ukraine

The Salyut (later Kiev-88) was very expensive when it was built, about half a year’s salary for an average Soviet worker,

and was therefore sold and produced in very small numbers. This means that production has been very limited and these cameras and lenses are rare.

The camera is very robust and does what it should do:

a lot of fun and, above all, VERY good photos that are in no way inferior to those of an expensive ROLLEI or HASSELBLAD.
