The Moskva5 has a long prism inside the viewfinder cover. One surface is semi-silvered. Maybe the silvering has gone, so you don't see a double image. From my experience with russian cameras I think it is even possible the prism is missing completely. To remove the top cover, unscrew the round windows and remove the top part of the advance button (maybe there is a holding screw under it), and lift the cover. Maybe I still have a prism somewhere, if you need it you can have it. Concerning the finger prints inside the rotating prism, this happens very easily when taking them apart. If you disassemble the rotating prisms mark the position of all the gears. It is possible to readjust the prisms even if their initial position is totally wrong (in this case the double image moves vertically, or sometimes even in the opposite direction as intended) but it takes patience. |
