I've long thought about getting one of the modern medium format rangefinders but I can't justify the price since I have no idea what I would actually do with the camera. The old folders are interesting though. I checked ebay and there's a small boatload of Moskva 5 cameras offered for sale right now. Most of them are offered by the same guy and they all start at $75. Most of them have received no bids. A quick check of the completed items shows that similar cameras went for not much more than $75. I may have to try one . . . OLC (obligatory Leica content): Of course, truth be told, I'm sure I would much rather shoot with my Leica. Bob
