Villa camera (Iskra) is a folding type rangefinder medium format that is the best mechanical camera done in USSR, it has automatic counter and leaf shutter. Optically is copy of Zeiss Tessar and is my favorite medium format camera for street photography. It gives me a felling close to M3 Leica rangefinder. Some say that Iskra is a copy of AGFA Isolette but i think that Russian version is superior. Grab one of Ebay if you are into film shooting. They are cheap and do beautiful work.
