USSR camera "Moscow-1" Uniquely rare, several pieces in private collections.1948
Functionality: the lens and viewfinder lenses are clean, viewfinder visibility is good - without distortion, focusing and aperture operation is smooth and pleasant. The diaphragm blades are dry and free of excess lubrication. The button to open the front panel gets stuck, the panel needs to be slightly pried up and pulled up. The shutter works the entire range of shutter speeds perfectly, except for “B” and “1” second - they operate with a slight delay, approximately 1/100 of a second. The release button on the turret does not transmit the transfer moment using the handwheel or lever, pressing the release trigger on the shutter itself, the release is carried out directly by pressing the release lever on the shutter itself near the lens.
This camera is incredibly rare, since of all the varieties of the camera, Moscow-1 has a nameless lens, that is, an unknown manufacturer: either the Krasnogorsk plant itself made them without applying or inventing them, or it secretly purchased them from some manufacturer, but without marking and names directly for their production - nothing is known about this history. Proof of the rarity of this model is provided in the last photo - this is a screenshot from the catalog website www.sovietcams.com. The Moscow-1 camera is generally ultra rare and it is almost impossible to get or buy it - everything is already in private collections, but this particular variety exists, that is, it is known about it - only in a couple of collections in Europe.
