Do not throw the trigger, but pull it back gently. The camera even with Soviet lenses gives an excellent picture. If it is handled with care and the film is inserted tightly, it can last a long time.

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.

Hello sir,I had question which camera would be better Praktica MTL3 with pentacon 50mm f/1.8 OR Vivitar v3000s with vivitar 50mm f/1.7

@yasenphotography 2 ай бұрын

Hi, I recommend the Vivitar v3000s with the vivitar 50mm f/1.7 because they are better made. Almost all Praktica models showed minor defects, but remember that all old cameras can show a defect due to the long pause. The mechanisms are drying out and I recommend that you work very carefully, and if you have the opportunity, have the camera inspected at a service center. Good luck!

I hate this camera so much that I actually love it. I went above and beyond to get one CLA back and forth from Australia to Germany and I don't regret anything. It's a joy to use and the 80mm Tessar lens... it's mind-blowing good.

@Shaun-kh7ic I don't think I do. I'm using the Praktica lens on a Nikon d5100 right now and those results are amazing.

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

You should put down rewind knob as soon as you have inserted cassette so when you wind on you can see film is advancing.

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.

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 I bought one, just out of curiosity, I was already then a pro over 20 years. Within 5 minutes, i thought, 'another use less gadget" Up till this very day, when I am outside , I still don't need a light meter. Example, when it's sunny, the light is the same all over our planet.

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.

There are not many 6x6 medium format SLRs that physically resemble normal 35mm SLR. Typically, they are in modular box form (Hasselblad, Bronica, etc). And the Noritar 66 with the famous 80/2 is really expensive nowadays. Well... perhaps I'll try the Pentacon Six.

@ghw7192 8 ай бұрын

I have several different models and they are all very solid. like my Alpa cameras, the shutter release is on the front of the camera body and falls naturally under my finger. The M42 mount means that there are hundreds of lenses available. Good camera, good review.

@ghw7192 8 ай бұрын

This is one of my favorite cameras and I have been using them since they were first introduced in the 60s. I have owned several over the years. I currently have a 35S with a Sonnar lens loaded with either slide or color print film and two of the original 35s. Their Tessar lenses love black and white film, so one has Ilford HP5 and the other Kodak Tri-X.

@yasenphotography 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching the video! These Kodak cameras run 620 film, where the roll diameter is about 2 mm smaller than 120 Film. Also, a hole for gripping the roll is quite different. I tried to reduce the diameter of the roller, but it did not work, there is a danger of light entering and damaging the tape. I found an original roll from another Kodak camera and in the darkroom, I rewound the roll onto the original reel, but this is dangerous because it can scratch the film strip. That's how I managed to shoot. I advise you to use the original 620-roll film, but unfortunately, they are much more expensive. //www.bristolcameras.co.uk/product/fpp-620-black-white-negative-film/

Great review & history!! My Praktica Super TL, was the first vintage camera that I bought about 2015, when I got back into film photography, and started collecting cameras! I now have several Super TLs, and at least one of almost every KW, & Praktica camera made…. I still love my Super TL with it’s Meyer Optik Oreston 1.8, 50mm lens….. super! Thank you.

Another camera model series from the former GDR would be the Exakta Varex/VX series, especially the Exakta Varex IIb. The first model in this series was the world's first single-lens reflex camera (SLR) to be launched on the market, the Kine Exakta. In particular, its compact design and its wealth of functions and interchangeable viewfinders, as well as the extraordinary symbiosis of lenses and shutter release is more than ingenious. A video about it would be more than worthwhile, especially if you get into the cameras of the former GDR with the Praktica Super TL and the Pentacon Six TL, the Exakta Varex IIb should not be missing. Incidentally, I own both the Pentacon Six TL and the Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb myself and am more than satisfied with them.

Thank you for watching my video! I make these films with great sentimentality because they are part of the worldwide development of photographic technology. My parents are photographers and I had the opportunity to touch Exakta Varex and Contax - 1966 - 69. Later I became a photographer myself. And my stories are from my experience, as I am now also looking for a historical reference for each camera. The achievements of Exakta, Contax, Pentacon, Praktica dozens of lenses and accessories are very impressive, as well as with the revolutionary discoveries - first SLR, first TTL metering. And all this in Dresden. Undeservedly, these stories are almost forgotten, so as much as I have strength and opportunity I will try to tell in future videos. On this link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8ChhriWmaidY6c.htmlsi=SaLlcfDxzMaiIVBB is my story with Praktica Super TL.

@@yasenphotography Then I know what I can and may look forward to in the foreseeable future. I'll soon be giving my Exakta and my Pentacon a CLA, which my wife will be carrying out (she's the precision mechanic in our house with previous experience in camera technology / Braun's camera construction department), so that everything runs like clockwork again. I would also like to have the Pentacon Super TL, but it's not affordable for me at the moment. Either way, the camera brands from the former GDR are role models in many respects and in some cases unrivaled role models for cameras from all over the world, even today. Incidentally, I had already watched the videos on the Praktica and immediately watched them again. 🙂 By the way, I am also a trained photographer and after more than a decade I am currently getting back into the analog world so that I can use digital and analog equally in the future.

The Praktika super TL was also marketed in the USA as the Cavalier Super TL with the excellent Meyer Optik 50 mm f1.8 lens designed by Dr. Paul Rudolf. It was my first 35 mm camera. The light meter button also stopped down the lens so you could actually see the depth of field.
