“Praktica MTL 50 and other variants”

Written on: 20/09/2012

The Praktica MTL 50 was the final fling in M42 screw thread cameras in was the most popular model around 1988- until The Early 90s many people don't know that Prakticas were built by hand by skilled workers who had vast experience in design and quality to compare a Leica to one is a bit churlish ans in fact photo=snobbery taken as an insultThe Pentacon Prime Lenses were in fact made by "The Best" Carl Zeiss Jena most were rebadged Pancolours or Tessars and Sonners The MTL 50 was...

I have used this camera for years and years to take pictures of and eclipse of the moon with all 3 lens added together and had to remove the 2 X lens as the moon was to big LOL I have a picture across a 100 year flood in the salt river and you can see the red light a mile plus away on a traffic light . .

Using my second Prakica after 10 years away and I realise what I'd been missing. Pentax make great SLRs, but it's nice to come back to the inventors of the pentax (HAH!) screw. (read more)

“I own 3 35mm SLR cameras (Yashica 250-af, Yashica...”

Written on: 12/02/2005 by atticusblack (1 review written)

I own 3 35mm SLR cameras (Yashica 250-af, Yashica 230-af and a Praktica LTL-3). Although the Yashicas are newer than my Praktica, it's the LTL that I use the most. I prefer the all manual operation, and although a little heavy compared to more modern slrs, it feel well built and robust.
Lenses are cheap and readily availably from secondhand camera stores, I bought an 80-200mm zoom for £5 recently.
In summary, a great camera for those just getting into 'serious' photography or those on a... (read more)

“This review covers most of the Praktica Manual SLRs...”

Written on: 20/09/2002 by Guru.

This review covers most of the Praktica Manual SLRs built in the 1970s-80s. The models are all similar, some had lightmeters, some had selftimers, but were basically the same camera. No "bells or whistles", these were basic manual exposure, manual focus SLRs. I owned a NOVA II in 1985, which introduced me to "proper" photography. The shutter speed range was 1-1000th sec + B, the flash snyc. was about 100th sec. The standard lens was the fantastic Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f-2.8, which was... (read more)
