Moskva 4 versus Moskva 5

I'm considering acquiring one of the Moskva 6x9 medium format cameras, but I'm not sure whether a Moskva 4 would better than a Moskva 5. Does anyone have any thoughts on either camera?

How does the Industar 23 lens do versus the Industar 24 ... is one a better lens than the other?

Well you get faster lens on the 5 - you get F3.5, Moskva-4 is F4.5. Plus you get a bit modern body with 5 with top being completley enclosed unless you find a transitional Moskva-4 model that the same thing but the older lens. Also Moskva-5 has the updated Moment-24C shutter, which I'm not sure what the difference is, maybe just for the faster lens...

Here's a nice unit with a 6x6 mask, those are usually hard to get together with the camera.
