The КИЕВ-19М (KIEV-19M) camera is a miniature reflex camera of system TTL with semiautomatic
setting of exposure. It is intended for amateur photographing.
The camera is designed for using the 35 mm photographic film in the standard magazines (36

focusing distance 50 mm, relative aperture 1:2). The lens is provided with special multilayer anti-
reflection coating of which the marking (MC) is indicative. The multilayer anti-reflection coating
improves the quality of an image and increases its contrast grade on account of increasing the integral
transparency and decreasing the light dispersion by the lens.
