RARE RUSSIAN FOLDING MEDIUM FORMAT 6x6 CAMERA ISKRA Made in Russian KMZ plant in 1963 (serial is #6305408) ABOUT CAMERA This Russian folding 6x6 rangefinder medium format camera, fundamentally inspired on the formidable elite camera Agfa Super Isolette. The "Iskra" is a folding camera for 6x6 format and 120 spool, equipped with a coupled (it means that when you set the rangefinder, it automatically sets the lens to the appropriate focusing distance ) rangefinder, not rectangular but square, working through the very accurate system of overlapping of two images in one. The shutter speeds and apertures lock together and the lens is marked with "Exposure Values"(EV). It´s a rangefinder camera featuring a very light weight and a great ability for hand a nd wrist shots without a tripod at slow shutter speeds, due to the lack of a tilting mirror and pentaprism. This camera has a brown eveready leather case with chrome trim around the top and bottom and Iskra on the lens cover.
