moskva 4/5 info sought!

[rbelyell]

hello all

right now i have a pentacon 6 outfit for my much loved 6x6 format and a mamiya press for the occasional need i have for 6x9. both produce well, but are huge and contemplate multiple lenses, which are also huge. like them or not, the size inhibits my use of them, and no, that really isnt going to change. i also really have to cull down my camera herd, soooo...

so, i came across the moskva 5 which would allow me to shoot both 6x6 and 6x9 with the same, smallish folding camera that has only 1 attached lens (so i cant be tempted to buy more!)

i have three questions i hope some members can help with:
1) do the quality of the moskvas pictures match my present lineup?
2) do i have other options similar to the versatility/small profile of the moskva?
3) is there anything i need to be wary of or know about before i commit to a moskva?

thanks for your help!
tony

If you really want Moskva 5 my copy will go to sell after I did test it for Gallery.
