Moskva-2

[gabrielcik]

Hi,

I would like to know if anybody has got a Moskva -2 and what do you think about it? is it a good camera or it can be used only as "ornament"...
Is the case in metal or plastic?
is it better than a lubitel?

Thanks!

Hello Gabriel,

the Moskwa 2 is a medium format folding camera, so there is a better place to discuss it:

I can only talk about its successor, the Moskwa 5.
Both a copies of the pre war Zeiss Super Ikonta 531/2, one of the best folders in the 1930s.
And the camera body is made out of metal.

My Moskwa 5 gives me very good images.
I do not know about the Lubitel, but I assume there is a big difference in image quality.

Some samples from my Moskwa 5:
