This camera has shown reliability over the years and is a worthy member of the large family of the Pentacon camera factory in Dresden.
In this film, I show how it works, how it is photographed, and of course its reliability after 40 years.

Thank you for this video. My late uncle had one and I now have it. The aperture mechanism on the 50mm lens is frozen, but I will have it repaired. Other than that, it appears in mint condition. I look forward to bringing this camera back to life. Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada!

When loading film into the Praktica, just pull the film up to the green dot and not any further, lay the film on the spool below this metal thingy, so that this metal thingy stays fully visible. Then close the cover, wind once, pull the trigger, wind again. Now you can start shooting and this way get up to 39 exposures on an 36 exposures film.

I have several of the Practika cameras, including one MTL5 that is still new in the box. While not as refined as many of the Japanese cameras of the time, I find the quality to be quite good and with the M42 screw mount, the lens selection seems endless. Thanks for a very good and interesting video.

Имам Praktica MTL 5B, която е абсолютно еднаква с MTL 5. Разликите между двата модела са, че MTL 5 използва живачна батерия PX 625 за светломера, докато при MTL 5B се използват алкална(LR 44) или сребърна батерия (SR 44). Другата разлика е, че при MTL 5 има гнездо за синхронизация на светкавицата.

You didn’t load the film properly, you need to make sure the film catches onto the gears.
