Mokba 6x9 rangefinder

You might want to check infinity focus on your Moskva before shooting with it, particularly if you are giving it a throrough cleaning anyways.
I have a Moskva 5, first roll I shot was ok, but not great, best shot was a self portrait where I didn't stand exactly where I had the camera focused (shot wide open btw). Checked infinity and ended up screwing the front lens element all the way in before a distant hydro tower looked sharp.

I adjusted one of moskva -5 at infinity with a distant utility pole. Well, It did not work out. When I checked it with a 2-camera collimation method, it's kind of off. So I had to adjust the front cell element again.

I know that feeling: for about 5 years before 2002, my wife and I never saw a Winter then we had a double.
Wifey is off to the Bahamas today and I'll follow in late March.
Congrats on the little pink money eating machine, we have one too but luckily it really belongs to our son and we can return it when we need some sleep. :angel:
So you'll be posting some shots of France/Italy when you get home to the windy city huh?!

We have been living here in Amsterdam for a few years now. However, with the arrival of a small pink thing with arms and legs and an appetite for consuming time and money, we have decided to head back to the land of the long white cloud. So, we sold the house here, and are now counting down the days before the man with the removal truck comes to pack everything up and stick on the boat. Then a bit of travel in Italy and maybe France, then back to NZ.

We're heading back to Wellington, since we still have a house there (good planning on our part given the price increases!!).

We'll be back the beginning of April, just in time for a second winter....

Thanks for that tip, I'll keep it in mind and shoot B&W for the first roll or 2.
I have no idea whether the rangefinder is accurate or not either.
