Arsenal Kiev-15 TEE + Helios-81 2/50mm | Single lens reflex camera (SLR)

In the Kiev-15 TEE camera body with Helios-81 f2/50mm lens on offer. They were built and made at Kiev Arsenal in Ukraine between 1976 and 1980. The letters "KNEB" stand for KIEV. This Kiev-15 camera is the newer version of the Kiev-10 with TTL metering. They are well known for their unique fan-like shutter blades. This camera also has a typical Kiev bayonet. So you actually cannot use this lens on other cameras than the Kiev-15 series. The offered unit is in非常 nice cosmetic condition with no dents or dings and also no heavy scratches. Also the Helios-81 is in very good condition with no scratches or haze on the glass, also no mold or dampness inside the lens. The diaphragm still works very well. (it is manually operable via a very small lever on the back of the lens) But... the camera does not work at this moment. Namely the winding lever turns somewhat freely. That is to say: when I wind the lever, I feel no resistance. So the film advance spool does not turn. Therefore the shutter cannot be cocked and thus cannot be fired. This camera has stood in my collection for years and has always worked well. Only during the last inspections the camera no longer works. So I am selling/describing the camera in the condition as it is and as known by the buyer. Camera with lens is delivered with a Russian filter and an original lens cap in very good condition. It will be packed with great care and shipped with Track & Trace number and insurance. IMPORTANT NOTE: I always ship my goods with Track & Trace number and insurance to prevent possible damage and theft. This shipping cost is higher (but safer) and is required by us (sellers) to offer due to Tracking possibilities. I use Catawiki's "Smart Shipping" tool. This was introduced after negotiations with several carriers and mail-order companies to offer better and cheaper shipping costs. Everything happens automatically through Catawiki and I only receive a digital shipping label to print and attach to the package. I also use a one-time fee of €10 that is included in the shipping costs. It covers the time I spend packing, the packaging box, the time spent driving to and from the post office, and a contribution to fuel since my car does not run on water. If you cannot agree with this, please do not place bids. Thank you in advance.
