I haven't been able to complete the conversion project
http://forum.mflenses.com/kiev-4-repair-and-modification-t10652.html
due to missing tools (like the M1 thread bit etc, etc) so I try my shutter reparation results with a temporary lens.

So I stripped my oily m42 Helios 44M and attached it to Kiev. Do I get pictures with it?
