KIEV JPS ( John Player Special )

A small camera categorised as a ‘spy’ camera due to its small size, the fact that it is well concealed, or its deceptive appearance.

Probably manufactured by the Arsenal military factory, it houses a Kiev 16 mm camera. The body is made entirely of metal, and the fake cigarette protruding from the others is used to wind and advance the film by pressing on it, as well as to eject the entire mechanism so that the film can be inserted and removed. The shutter release button is located on the front of the body and the viewfinder window on the side.
