The Moskva cameras are a series of 6×9-cm folding cameras, mostly with coupled rangefinders, made by the KMZ factory near Moscow. An exception is the Moskva-3 which is a 6.5x9cm plate camera. The Moskva 1, 2, and 4 are very similar to the German Ikonta and Super Ikonta cameras. The 6x9 cameras have a second red window, allowing square-format pictures, if a film-chamber mask can be obtained or made.
