Hi!
I forgot my Voigtländer E-messer when packing for a trip to Kyiv, and now need to replace it, at least for the duration of the trip.

What cameras would you recommend? I especially use the possibility to wind the film incrementally to make layered multiexposures. I use zone focus, so the coupled range finder is less important.

Maybe some soviet made camera of the same era?

Thanks for any recommendations!

Look for a Moskva 2 (4.5/10.5cm) or a Moskva 5 (3.5/10.5cm), they are faithful copies of Zeiss SuperIkonta (6x9).

Thanks!
I have been offered a Bessa II from a reputable dealer, but the price is steep - 800$. I trust that the camera is cla’d and the price is surely fair.
I also found a Moskva4 for about 60$, from an internet listing. I plan to check on that one first.
