Description:
The Moskva-5 (MOCKBA-5 in cyrillic)
is a medium format rangefinder folding camera
made by KMZ and produced between 1956-60. Its
main difference from Moskva-4 is added selftimer.
Moskva-5 is the latest model in a series of cameras
Moskva brand. Main difference from Moskva-4 is
added self timer. The Moskva-5 was undoubtedly
designed as an expensive professional camera, and
not as an amateur model. It was built in an age
(1956–1960) when 35mm photography was already
suppressing 120-film, and only professionals still
insisted on using the larger format. Its dual-format
characteristics, rangefinder and excellent lens and
finish indicate professional use also.
