After WWII the Soviets took over the Zeiss plant in East Germany and started producing the Zeiss cameras under a different brand. The Moskvas are copies of the Zeiss Super Ikonta cameras.
The Moskva 5 is a difficult camera. Very heavy but robust, with two tiny viewfinders, one for focusing and one for framing, and a shutter release button at the left side. It is perhaps better suited for left-handed photographers. The Industar lens is sharp and fast enough at f3.5 but very difficult to read the numbers and set the aperture/shutter speed.
The camera takes 9 6x9 pictures on 120 film, it also has a 6x6 capability with a mask that I do not have.
It is a big camera but when folded it fits into a coat pocket.
I put a roll of Reala 400 in the camera and I got 6 properly exposed photos, I then rephotographed the negatives.
