I bought a Kiev 60. It looks it's been modded to shoot 4.5x6 & it has the mirror lockup. It's all black and has a serial number of 0014. It doesn't seem to have special markings.
Can anyone help me understand what I just bought?

Notice the mirror lockup button on the right?

You should resell it to collectors. Not to mention that crack on the front... looks like you're going to get some serious light leaks from it unless you don't cover them.
It's a common modification, it doesn't make it worth anything really. Use it if you want, sell it if you don't.

you bought a clunky piece of communism that will give you 12 cropped photos and will throw into the trash 1/4 of all your film.
shoot at least one roll, you might end liking it.

Photos look sharp. No light leaks from the broken Kiev badge.

Congrats browsky, you bought a fine piece of equipment. Here's a complimentary image of a tree, taken with Kiev 60.
