I know arax and hartblei are still refurbing kievs but i don't know if they are selling bodies. You should hop on the kievreport or kievaholics. I think your loading technique needs just a little finesse. Around y2k that method of loading could lead to uneven frame spacing and possibly damage to the wind mechanism. If your going to put it on a boat for refurb make sure to take some shots with plenty of sky at higher shutter speeds. Your looking for shutter banding. The kiev 88 is more prone to it but it has occurred in the k60s. I used 510 pyro for the first time last week. Cleaning the little rubber cup and syringe requires a little more effort than i'm used to. The developer does have some potential that i can't wait to explore.
I too have an Arax 60. I bought it used, but I needed to recoat the shutter curtain because it had become very 'semi-transparent' many pinholes. I used spray electrical insulator. I really should send it back to Ukraine, but they're a bit busy there at the moment. It still has the Kiev feature that can run all your frames together into one big 13 frame panorama. BTW, I was told not to let the wind lever snap back- that can damage the spacing mechanism. You did seem to have nicely spaced frames. I have the 30mm ultrawide lens for it. It's nice and sharp, and a lot of fun.
Hey there. You might want to include the link to your website in the description. Also the link on your youtube profile is misspelled northeastphotogrpahic.
Whoops! Fixed that link. I'm having issues with YT allowing me to post links in the video description. They are not accepting my verification for some reason. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I will definitely cover different agitation styles in later videos. The Heiland TAS just simulates hand agitation though in a mechanical way. If you’re used to “Ilford standard” agitation, that will work just fine!

Nice video! Thanks for sharing. I love your workspace. By the way, I also got the same Filson messenger bag.

Considering most people don't have fancy dev machines it would be nice to show hand processing.

The TAS is a great processing tool. However, I was expecting you to use the Jobo before the TAS appeared. 😊
