Very nice, I recognise the Zorki 4 but what are the other two?

No Kiev?

I like KIEV best from 35mm, Zorki 4 has larger viewfinder more compatible mount with digital cameras , reason why Zorki 4 is here.

Yes, it is Mockba 2, the one that look like german Super Ikonta. V have slightly different rangefinder (I was not looking at the rangefinder, sorry). Lens is a copy of german lens too, with a little luck it can be similar quality.

There should be frame for 6x6 format inside (camera is 6x9), I have bought few Mockba cameras for parts and only one come with 6x6 frame.

As for Leningrad lightmeter - there is Leningrad camera too, it is M39 rangefinder with automatic film advance (clockwork).

That Jupiter-3 looks mint! Superb collection. Does you leningrad-2 lightmeter work ? It`s becoming extremely hard to find one in a working and accurate condition. I have a Leningrad- 1 ( sadly the selenium meter is dead ,however it looks 100% mint) , Leningrad 4 ( working) and a very early predecessor "Optek". If anyone will be interested I`ll try to post some pictures Smile

I was promised the 6x6 insert for my Moscow 5 but am still waiting for it to arrive! Sad
