Received your cold shoe and screen on 12 05 2014. Love that screen!!! Thought you may like to know that I tested your (6-45), cameras shutter speeds and would like to complement your technicians, on their efforts! The seeds up to the 500 and 1000 speeds were extremely accurrent. The speeds at 1/500 and 1/1000 were about one stop slow (overexposure). This is common among all of the cameras with mechanical shutters tested. Only one camera machete the accurrency of your camera and that was another Kiev 60 (6x6). Well Done.

I picked up the screen at the post office today. It arrived faster than I expected, it fits perfectly. It certainly is so much better than the one I had before (the one with the grid, too dark, useless indoors). Thank you very much and I hope to deal with you again.

I am would like to inform you that the package arrived today at 12.30 pm. No difficulties with customs, reached my place by mail just as you said. The package was in good shape, the camera and accessories as well. The camera looks terrific ; I did a quick test of the main functions and everything works great. The shutter purrs like the proverbial cat , the lens moves smoothly and without much force, all just as desired. Tomorrow I will load a roll of film and look how this will turn out ( surely as good as the general appearance of the camera). Thank you very much for your great service and I will let you know how the test with film turned out. Respectfully Yours

The beautiful CM MLU/SE camera you built for me arrived today and I couldn't be happier. Your team does a fantastic job and I look forward to many years of service from this fine instrument. I was immediately impressed by your attention to detail and the great value your product represents when compared to other well known medium format camera systems. Thank you!

Thank you for upgrading my old Kiev 60! You did a professional job, I am very satisfied both with your work and your great style of communication. Super fast delivery! I am looking forward to more deals with you.

The flock sheet arrived yesterday. It was a generous 10x12.5 cm, which made me very happy. I used some of it to cover the inside bottom of a Hasselblad 2000FC/M which had a rubber-like surface which was light grey, perhaps from ageing. The other internal surfaces has a matte black paint, which seemed to be as black as could be expected. With a piece of your flock sheet installed in the bottom the internal reflection was greatly reduced. Thank you and best Wishes

Michael Horsfall, Thu, 15 May 2014

Just received my ARAX-CM/MLU-starter kit and was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. Arax produces a camera that is hard to find these days at such a great price point. All mechanisms snap to life as if for the first time, a feature lacking in the 3 Pentacon 6's i've gone through in the last 5 years. The piece of mind given from having a team of skilled individuals able to service the camera if anything were to happen is a rare thing today. the glory of Ukrainian camera manufacturing lives on with Gevorg and the team at Arax! long live a United Ukraine!

I have had an ARAX 645 MLU/SE for a couple of years which is great. I broke my prism finder and I recently ordered a new one to replace it. Gevorg supplied a new one covered in the same leather to complete my setup very rapidly. Thanks very much and I hope peace returns to Ukraine quickly.

The TILT adapter for use Kiev lenses on Nikon F arrived last week. Already tested! With the ARSAT C 80mm 2.8 and on D800E...just superb!!!!! Thank you for this pleasant transaction! I regret the present situation in Ukraine! I wish a quick and peaceful resolution for your country.

I am the owner of a PCS ARSAT H 2,8/35 lens for sometime now. I was a TV cameraman since 1981, and now as an architect in a TV broadcaster since 1994 with a heavy load of photo work, with my 32 years of field practice in both fields I am in a good position to evaluate any kind of cameras and lenses (both TV or photo). I think very highly of the PCS ARSAT H 2,8/35 lens both in the technical level and in practical photography. It is an invaluable tool for my practice, and I highly recommend it to anyone with the need to make good architectural or simply "perspective-controlled" photography, bot professionally or not. I understand that this not a "new" lens, but I use it quite often with very good results and thought of passing my opinion to others.

I bought my Arax 88CM with two 6x6 backs more than six years ago. A few years later I bought a further 6x4.5 back from Gevorg. I have never had any problems with them at all and they perform brilliantly. The Arax gear gives you by far the biggest bang for the buck. Thanks Gevorg, I love this camera and will be in touch with you soon to buy a few more backs, my friend.

I received ARAX 2.8/80mm Tilt & Shift for Canon yesterday. After one evening free hand photo session I found the lens interesting. It is many ways tricky - especially ghosting seems to be an issue - but T & S -capabilities are definitely promising. I think that I can also use that lens for creative portraits. Thank you for excellent delivery of this challenging lens. I am sure there will be plenty of use for my new Arax.

I received the new cube quickly ARAX CM / MLU, I had modified by you that I wanted to replace and yes it's been four times that I appeal to you Kiev 88 I always take pleasure in taking pictures with these playthings (despite a Hasselblad in my possession) here is still thank you for your professionalism and the bright silver.

Exertion, I thing this is the right word., when you thinking where to invest your money. I also went through this. After a long research finely I decided to purchase Arax 60. And I should say, at this moment I'm happy with my decision! I received the camera one week after payment. The communication with Gevorg were excellent. I've got all answers to my questions. I already took the "beast" out for a "test drive" and she did not disappoint me. Follow the link and argued: //facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.647819938568198.1073741827.195015567181973

Today I received ARAX CM/MLU, and everything is ok. Camera looks great, it is well made, and i am very happy that I finally bought it. After lot of thinking I made decision and choose this camera because I think it is best buy considering price/quality, and outstanding quality of photographs on medium format (especially portraits).

Stefan Stojanovic, Mon, 11 Feb 2013

I purchased 80mm tilt-shift to make myself understand these lenses. Now I can't live without it, I'm probably going to take 35mm too. 80mm is gorgeous, sturdy- Spartan and very sharp lens. I think it's impossible to take bad marginal photo or video with it, images or videos have that super fine and unreal blurry drive into super sharp focus area, colors are amazing! I hate tilt-shift screw plastic on this lens and I think overall aesthetic rate is dropping significantly when about that cheap- black plastic part of the screw. Change that please. Thanks for this stunning introduction into tilt-shift dimension.

When I show my new "steel toys"to my friends they joke me spent over 600 dollars to buy a film camera,but I think the pay is worth. Certainly,ARAX cm is the best version of kiev 88 series mid-format camera that I have seen.The appearance achieve world-class level and it can take beautiful photos.I test it by take one roll of B/W film,the result shows the camera performs well.The most important is ARAX is much cheaper than HASSY but they are very similar in many place.It's best alternatives of hassy for film photography enthusiasts.

I am extremely happy with the Arax CM/MLU kit I purchased off Gevorg. It is a masterpiece of old-world workmanship, built like a tank and everything moves smoothly and crisply. The standard 80mm lens is beautifully sharp and the view through the prism viewfinder is so large enough to make you want to go for a run around inside. Dealing with Arax personally through Gevorg made the purchase all the more worthwhile and I really appreciated the extra effor he went to to make my purchase special. I have just bought a CZ Flektogon 50/4 T* to add a wider dimension to what I can do with this beautiful camera.
Here's a great street photo I captured with this camera loaded with Ilford HP5 400 ASA film - //fav.me/d5fu6na

The 80mm tilt and shift lens which I purchased from Arax is definitely an item which I would recommend to all my friends. I am extremely happy by the way Arax kept in touch with me and provided all kinds of support and help which I required. Thank you Arax once again.

I received my Arax CM/MLU through the post yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the workmanship; I read through the manuals and checked out the videos posted on Youtube and everything functions as expected. I ran a test roll through the camera today and the negatives look crisp and sharp - I can't wait to take it out into the field. Compliments to Gevorg and his team for the excellent service!

Steffen, Wed, Thu, 16 Aug 2012
Brighton, UK


I have been using ARAX a few times already - first for bits and pieces for my Kiev-60 repairs and now with Arax-60 MLU. I can say nothing but praises for the excellent service and quality of the workmanship. The camera is simply superb - I have already tested it (including the focus and shutter accuracy) and every function is spot on. I also like all-black finish a lot more than my other Kiev-60s.
For those who were thinking of getting medium format cameras but still not sure - this is the one to get. I would not advise to get used Pentacon Six of Kiev-60/88 from eBay unless you have strong desire and skills to do DIY work on your cameras. I would instead urge you to get yourself Arax (60 or 88) and just start enjoying your camera - it is well worth the money and the service Arax delivers is second to none.

Thank you very much for this beautiful camera your firm made. It's as beautiful as I immagined it would be. The metal shutter and transport system are very quite and smooth like butter, the shutter speeds are changed without any effort and precise like a Leica. The breech lock is very polished and shines making very positive lens changings. The extra bonuses were a real surprise and made me happy ! Thank you very much for all this effort in craftsmanship.

The camera came on Friday, everything was in good condition, well packed. I spent last weekend reading the manuals and watching the Youtube instructive videos, because I have experience only with Pentacon six and this camera is much more complex. I hope, I have understand all the functions (especially do's and don'ts). On Sunday I tried to take first pictures, the film and the photos are now developed and it is evident, that the camera works perfectly.
Thank you for perfect cooperation, for greetings from Kiev and for the adapter ring!

I have been a photographer for over 40 years and I have used many different types of camera. I can honestly say that the Arax CM/MLU is an excellent camera and a delight to use. (It is now my main studio camera.) It is simple to use and functions very smoothly. The 80mm f2.8 lens is wonderful and the metered prism is totally accurate. If you are thinking about buying a medium format camera THIS is the one to get!

I bought an ARAX CM/MLU SE a while ago and now I've processed my first film from the camera and the results are excellent. The NT film backs are easy to load and there were no light leaks whatsoever. The lens is great and the camera is beautiful. I prefer the folding waist level finder over the prism because I think it's crisper and makes it easier to focus. Although it is easy enough to focus with the prism finder. The packaging and shipping leaves nothing to be desired. All in all a great camera with alot of character, and good value for the money. I love it! I also purchased a tilt-adapter for P6 to M42 which I mostly use on my digital camera (with the arax 2.8/80) lens and I have no complaints about that one either.

The Arax tilt adapter is super value for money. The mechanics is fine and coupling it with the Biometar lens I bought for this purpose was without any problems. I have the adapter mounted on my Nikon D5000 and a Biometar lens attached. In hindsight, I would definitely buy the Arax adapter again, but look around for other medium format lenses with the same mount but different bokeh, e.g. the Kaleinar. Arax service was also fine.

Kurt Thomas, Tue, 05 Jul 2011

In 1991 I bought my first Kiev 60. Exactly 20 years after that I bought my first Arax 60 MLU. It was the fourth body I used, the only trouble free and definitely the best. I tested all my Kiev lenses and the results were astonishing. The MLU function produced crispy and crystal clear results especially with the large telephotos. The camera arrived extremely fast in five days from Kiev and the communication with Arax was fast, accurate and friendly. It was really one of the best buys I ever made and I definitely recommend Arax.

I bought a very nice Arax CM MLU kit with several lenses and camera backs seven years ago.With this kit I entered the world of medium format. I still work with that kit and am very satisfied.Since then I bought several accesories ,lens, filters from Mr Gevorg and I have a very good experience communicating with Him.Everything flowable sincere and fast.Belive him 100%

Received my Arax camera after just 5 days even though we had a few holidays in our country, which was quite an impressing feat. Since then, have used up a few rolls of film with it and have been quite impressed with the results so far. Overall I'm more than satisfied with everything from ordering to the actual developed negatives and if I had to find a fault, it would be that the bayonet mount lock was screwed a bit more tightly than I'm used to. Pleasure doing business with you!

Two cameras which I ordered arrived safely last night. I was surprised too early Arrival. I have you give various service, and thank you. Cameras are in a very good State. The camera of ARAX possesses very high reliability and becomes my main camera. (I have disposed of three pentacon six.) I intend to purchase a camera made in ARAX in the near future. I enjoy photography with a camera of ARAX. Thank you very much.

I would like to thank you for the fine camera, ARAX 60-MLU/SE you send me a couple of weeks ago. Last Sunday, for the first time, the weather was perfect in Belgium for taking some nice "Indian summer"-pictures. So I went out for the first time with the camera. The camera works perfect, and the built in meter is spot on for color negatives. (I checked it with my Gossen Starlite). 20 years ago, in my past job, I worked regularly with different Hasselblads. I can assure you that the ARAX 60 is as good as every Hasselblad and I'm not missing the changeable backs (if I need them in the future, I will order a second body (will cost me not more than a Hasselblad back).

Wilfried Wellens, Mon, 18 Oct 2010

I recently got my first ARAX, a 60 MLU. It's great. The ARSAT 80mm lens is really good and I've already shot some very nice images with it. I can thoroughly recommend it and the service from ARAX. A special word of thanks to Gev0rg who could not have been more helpful.

Carl Moss, Wed, 29 Sep 2010

This is my second ARAX camera (A.-60 and A.-88): Excellent products (including lenses and accessories) and first-class (super-fast, absolutely reliable) service! For middle-format (analogue) photography the ARAX cameras, lenses etc. and the ARAX Company team are highly recommended! ARAX - for ever!

I received yesterday my TTL spot prism view finder for Hasselblad 500C/M, in perfect condition... A point of advise if I may, when you expect an e-mail from Arax MAKE SURE THAT you CHECK YOUR "SPAM " FOLDER. Your mail might be there in the spam folder as it did for me. I made an ass of myself by starting a complaint because of mail that I did not recveived in the proper folder. (Not his fault but mine) Mr Vartanian is extremely courteous and helpful and will resolve any problem.

I'm so happy! I received my Arax this saturday on the morning, and developped my first black and white film. No problem. Not any problem... Good picture, very good. Thank you everybody at Arax Photo. We can trust you.

After consulting Mr. Vart�nyan, I returned my 35mm Arax S&T lens for conversion from 42mm thread to Canon mount. The service was again very professional and quick. The lens was thoroughly packed: I received it in perfect shape. Thanks again to all at Arax for the excellent service!

This message is just to thank you for the work you made with my Mir-3. I developed the first rolls with it and I got superb results, better than most Carl Zeiss Jena lenses I have got. Here is an example: //flickr.com/photos/fabiolanotte/4514891467/
Again, thank you very much!

Gev0rg is a true gentleman and businessman. From sending my money to receiving my Arax the whole process took a painless 2 weeks. The camera feels well built, performs impressively and produces beautiful images, the transport mechanism and shutter are both smooth and reliable, and the focusing screen is bright and crisp. I'm very pleased with my order and won't hesitate to order from Araxfoto again should I need additional gear!

I was surprised to arrive unexpectedly and early. "ARAX CM MLU" is wonderful. It satisfies it.

I received the parcel yesterday afternoon (vey fast indeed, compared to the other way :-). I checked that the body was working all right at all speeds now. Today, I put a film into the 645 back, went out to shoot and observed that now, the film transports very smoothly. Thank you very much for this succesful repair.

The ARAX 60 SE is a great camera that really works as I expected. In less than a month it was in my hands with all the special requests I've made. The people at ARAX FOTO are very helpful and fast. One of the best buys I've ever made.

I have to say, that camera works quite well. My first impression was its a little bulky, a few places paint was peeled, that is the bad part of it, this camera made in 2003 so it is a little battered. Camera functions are really good, I will recommend this machine to my friends. Thanks for all, I really love it!

Thanks Gev0rg! My New 88CM MlU with 2 film backs arrived today in perfect condition. Very fast shipping. I'm very pleased with the build quality of the camera. All loaded with film and ready to go shoot. I used to have a new Hasselblad 501CM but could not justify the cost of extra lenses. Now for what I sold the hasselblad for a I have a new ARAX 88 CM MLU, A Carl Zeiss Jena MC 50mm f4.5, Carl Zeis Jena MC 180mm f2.8, and a Carl Zeiss jena MC 80mm f.8 lens a Kiev TTL Spot meter and an extra 6x6 back. And still have a few extra dollars in my pocket. Thanks again Gev0rg!

I would like to thank you for your great camera. I have now been shooting for about ten rolls of film with it. Mainly hp5 black and white, but also kodak 400vc colour film. Sharp and contrasty pictures and very precise shutter operation. Every shot was correctly exposed as metered. There seems not to be any light leaks or reflections inside the body, unlike in my standard kiev 60. I have photographed equally using both film backs and both of them operates flawlessy. I have strong believe that this camera will be one of my personal favourites in addition to my EOS1 digital and film cameras creating mostly portrait photos of people in their own surroundings. Perfect satisfaction!!

I received the camera kit within two weeks of ordering. Each film magazine was tested with a roll of Kodak T-Max 400 film. The Arax CM-MLU performs flawlessly. It was very obvious that the camera has been put together with great care (and pride). The pictures were great - no light leaks at all; and the Vega-12B f2.8/90 was wonderful. I am extremely happy with this unit and looking forward to future transactions!

Tilt adapter safely arrived and I am glad to say that it performs amazingly! Results are absolutely wonderful (with Flektogon 50/4 and Canon full frame DSLR).
