Get a Moskva-5 and make sure to get the 6x6 mask for it. It's way
heavier-duty than a Super Ikonta C, has coated lenses and X-synch (which
would set you back $1300 with a Zeiss). They're under $200. The coated
Industar-24 lens is sharper than the uncoated Tessars and Novars found on the
affordable Super Ikonta Cs. Yes, I have owned them all.

folding 6 by 9 cm camera with a very good lens and possibly a coupled
rangefinder. I want to avoid collector cameras, but I still want quality.
There is a big photo flea market here this coming weekend, and I would
appreciate any tips beforehand from this knowledgeable group. (BTW is the
real negative format 55 by 85 mm just like 6 by 6 is 55mm square?)
Thanks and regards, Chris
