First models of Salyut were probably the near copies of Hasselblad 1600. Salyut-S is the very modified model of the first Salyut.
Kiev-80 cameras are the export type of Salyut-S with a new name plate.
The Salyut was the first attempt by the Soviet camera industry to produce a sophisticated SLR medium format camera.. The Soviets claimed that both the Hasselblad and the Salyut were derived from a Nazi prototype, however none of these supposed forerunners have ever been seen so this origin is dubious.
These cameras were very expensive at 400 Rubles, which represented 6 months salary to the average Soviet citizen.

Certo Six Medium Format Folding Camera. Made in Germany in 1957.
To fire the shutter you push the knob on the front right hand side of the camera sideways. This may sound odd, but works very nicely in practice and reduces the chance of camera shake.

First test roll from Diana. The pictures came out pretty good but the viewfinder inaccuracy cause the cut off of the top part of the pictures. Well, a fun little "Plastic Fantastic" toy camera.
