Arax has two cameras, the big SLR type one, based on Kiev-6/60 series, which itself was a Pentacon 6 clone. The Hassie type one is based on Salyut/Kiev 88/88CM series, which were Hasselblad 1000/500 clones.

Thanks all. 
Yes, there are two models, one is a P6 "clone", the other an early Hasselblad clone. I have the second one with P6 mount. It's a great camera. |

ive heard the p6 clone was of very high quality. i strongly considered getting one before deciding against the bulk. but that aside, you cant argue with the results, and being able to use these wonderful lenses on a 'new' cam is really great.

Yes, that's one of the drawbacks of such a system. You carry a heavy bag, almost always need a tripod and you need time for each shot. On the other hand this (and the fact a 5€ roll of film can take only 12 frames) discourages you from taking snapshots.
And yeah, that "new" camera thing. I thought long about whether I should buy an old used camera or a "new" Arax but in the end the idea of having something new won. And I'm not sorry I went with Arax. So far it's working perfectly. |

If you ask any repairman that works on the Kiev 60/6c and the Pentacon Six they will tell you the cameras are absolutely not clones of each other. The internal mechanisms are completely different.
The images are wonderful. Very nice contrast. |

Actually, you are quite right. I've taken a look inside both Kiev 6/60s and Pentacon 6. Clone is not the right word. Same mount, and based off the same idea (a medium format camera that you hold up eye-level like an SLR).
