What about Kiev cameras? Russians copy of Contax?

(my dream film camera would be Contax G2 with small tiny Contax (by Carl Zeiss) autofocus prime lenses. Maybe one day...)

6x6 Kiev was a copy of the first Hasselblad. I know were you can find and take with you for free ten gorgeous Hasselblads. Want to know?

Old Contax cameras were alsocopied in USSR. Last copies were made in the'80s still based on 50 years older German caneras

Apollo team left those cameras to the moon.

Dual lens cameras are medium format 6x6 cameras. After the war they were used as press cameras too. Single lens SLR cameras wete still rare. I had one of the first SLR's Exacta Ihagee Varex model IIb.

But yes, I see there is one which I have too.
I bought this few years ago. Have not used this much. Just as hipsters started to photograph films as well.

What model that af film Canon is? EOS 3, EOS 5 or? What do you think about it?
How well af works versus today's digi cameras?
