The first Moskva-1 cameras were fitted with Compur shutters and Zeiss Novar or Tessar lenses. This example is fitted with the Novar anastigmat lens, which has a maximum aperture of f/4.5 and a focal length of 10.5 cms. The Compur shutter has a speed range from 1 second to 1/250 plus B. These 6 x 9 roll-film cameras were sometimes finished with a brown covering. This one is finished in black.
