Description
The Moskva-5 (MOCKBA-5 in Russian) is the most advanced Russian clone of the Zeiss Super Ikonta C. It supports both 6×9 and 6×6 formats on 120 film. The camera has two red windows in the back cover (6×9 and 6×6), the viewfinder can be set for either format as well. A special format reducer is required for the 6×6 frame size. This uncommon accessory is not included, but can be easily made from two paper or metal strips installed in the film window.
- Shutter: Moment-24S (the S is for the flash Sync), the speeds are B, 1 – 1/250s.
- Lens: Industar-24, F=10.5cm, 1:3.5, coated. This 4-element lens is capable of producing sharp and contrasty images.
Other features include:
- Removable back cover.
- Sturdy cast body.
- Double exposure prevention mechanism.
- Both rangefinder and viewfinder are built into the streamlined cast top cover.
This camera was made in the late 1950’s by the KMZ factory. It is in EXC- condition, shows some wear but clean overall.

Bought a Moskva-5 from Fedka. I had been hesitating to buy one on eBay because you just never know what you will get.
Yuri and I had a few email exchanges in order to make sure my requirements were satisfied. I wanted a camera to use, one that would work. Yuri’s responses were prompt and honest.
Once I ordered it, it came very nicely packed across the Atlantic to Sweden. It took a little getting used to, but that has more to do with the model rather than the sample I got.
I am now absolutely certain that I wouldn’t have gotten a better one anywhere else for the same price. It was higher than eBay, but not really. I only needed to buy one, not several, in order to get one that works.

I ordered my Moskva-5 on Sunday and received it on Wednesday … that’s the typically fast service you get from Yuri!
This is the second camera I have ordered from Fedka, and once again the camera I received exceeded my expectations. The case is in perfect shape, all the stitching intact, with just a very slight scuff at one corner. The Moskva-5 itself is a real gem and has been well cared for and gently used. It looks almost brand new! The rangefinder works perfectly and is easy to adjust and the shutter fires accurately on all speeds. The Industar 24 lens is pin sharp. Best of all, it comes with the 6×6 mask so one has the option of shooting in the square format! I’m very pleased with this camera.
There are lots of Moskva-5s available on eBay, but who knows what you’ll get. When you buy a Moskva-5 (or any camera) from Yuri you know you’ll be getting a camera that works from the moment you put film into it.

I recently purchased the Moskva-5 and am very impressed. The camera arrived in very good condition; the photographs it produced are sharp with nice contrast. When scanned, 6x9cm negatives and transparencies shot with the Moskva-5 produce high quality images.
As always, it’s a pleasure doing business with Yuri.

I?m happy to say, my expectations were exceeded. Everything went as planned and when there was an issue Yuri contacted me directly with a product change making sure that I was happy with the swap before proceeding.
Additionally, I’ve come to expect delays in orders from the states since I?m stationed in Japan. I was delighted that the products arrived so quickly. I got the email updates with the status and 10 days later I was pulling my new toys out of the box.
The Moskva 5, Lubitel 166, and the Agat 18, each one was in working order and in the good condition. They are also conversation starters because most people gaped at the Lubitel TLR and Moskva 5 folder. They?re all amazed that they were film cameras and that they still worked.
Thank you.

Very rapid shipping with excellent communication. But what matters – the camera! And it is excellent, exceeded my expectations. It is worth buying from Fedka as you know the camera will work an intended. Highly recommended!

I was very happy to receive my Moskva-5 Dual Format from Fedka. It is a very good specimen, it looks as it was treated with great care, and all functions are good and smooth. Optically this camera is fine also. I have already shot two rolls with it, with excellent results. The process of purchase went very smoothly and with very good communication, and the parcel arrived all the way to Belgium in surprisingly good time. Therefore, I very much recommend both the camera and Fedka.com and I look forward to return as a happy customer in the near future.

I ordered my Moskva 5 and received it today (Saturday) I unboxed it and immediately was quite impressed by the condition of the leather case, it’s nearly new. For the most part so is the camera. I did a basic function check, loaded a roll of T-Max 100, grabbed my Gossen Luna Pro F, and headed out. I just developed the first roll about an hour ago and it looks perfect. I saved at least $200 over buying a comparable Zeiss 6×9 folder and the Moskva feels every bit as solid as a Zeiss folder. I am very happy with my purchase and will definately be using Fedka in the future for my FSU camera needs.

This camera takes amazing shots, and it arrived fast in great shape (technically GOOD+).
Three rolls in – FP4, HP5, and Ektachrome 100 – and I am very impressed. I’m so glad to have a source for quality cameras that aren’t “the big brands”.
I will be buying more from FEDKA and am already recommending it to friends.
