I got two Moskva 5's on eBay more than a decade ago, and learned a ton about photography using them. No light meter, crappy viewfinder were the downsides, but it provided two frame sizes (6x6 / 6x9) for the negative, which gives so much more detail than 35mm. Also fits in a (very large) pocket... finally, it's just a very beautiful, if fairly simple, piece of equipment. Photography can seem like high-tech magic but when you strip away the bells and whistles and learn how to estimate exposures with simple math based on light conditions and film ISO, it feels much more elemental and was quite fun.
I still have a few rolls of 120 film in the fridge but no idea where I'd get them developed anymore.
