Eesti Foto Almanak 5 is the fifth volume of the pioneering Estonian photography yearbook and handbook series, published in 1932 by the Tallinn Photographic Society (Tallinna Fotoyhing) and edited by publisher, photographer, and organizer Harry A. Malm.

Key details of this volume include:

• Content Focus: Spanning roughly 172 pages, it serves primarily as a technical guide for photographers, featuring instructional articles, industry updates, and extensive advertisements for photographic equipment and materials of the era.

• Terminology & Lexicon: It includes a notable German-to-Estonian dictionary of photography terminology, compiled to help standardize technical photographic language in the Estonian language.

• Historical Significance: Part of the broader Eesti Foto Almanak series (run from 1926 to 1932), the volume remains a scarce and valuable historical artifact documenting the interwar growth, technical practices, and community development of amateur and professional photography in Estonia.
