This camera is my very first Praktica - a classic piece only for the brave ones, who can bear the weight of approx. 1 kg on their neck. On the other hand, what's not to like about a solid soldier like this one, that will teach you the basics at your starting point in photography. Demanding to check all settings, this Praktica will ensure you some great experience in the field of analog cameras.Special thanks to the family Hinkov, who sent me this marvelous gadget.
