German optics technology, premium-grade glasses, exclusive coating formulas and timeless old-world craftsmanship are the ingredients for these extraordinary professional lenses. The special glasses, noted for their purity, are fused from sands of the fabled Karelian White Sea and rare earths of the rugged Ural mountains in the Russia. Each lens element is ground and polished with meticulous care to exacting tolerances. And sophisticated seven-layer dielectric coatings are vacuum-deposited on glass-to-air surfaces to reduce internal reflection, increase transmission efficiency and enhance contrast. Resulting photographic images are of breathtaking quality, exquisite in their definition, luminance and color fidelity.

Why are KIEV lenses from ARAX superior to others?

ARAX lenses all are rebuilt and tested an additional time to eliminate any manufacturing defects. All elements are centered and aligned. Our lenses must meet a higher standard of quality to get the ARAX name and warranty. This applies to any of our lenses using the Kiev C or Kiev B mount. Nobody else can supply these lenses with such a superior guarantee of quality and service.

This is a price list for brand new or in mint condition lenses. All lenses come with front and rear lens caps, and fitted carrying cases and are available with either the Kiev B mount (screw mount) or the Kiev C mount (Pentacon-six mount).

Note: The Kiev ARSENAL factory has stopped include filters with all it's lenses except the ARSAT 3.5/30mm fisheye. Therefore all lenses come without filters. Also, many lenses are no longer in production. That is why we sell not only brand new lenses, but older inventory and very carefully used ones.
