Notes | Prakticas were built to be rock solid by the East German VEB Pentacon company in Dresden. Prakticas in general are well-designed and built to last. The MTL3 is the 3rd generation of Praktica’s LTL series, and was in turn superceded by the MTL5. One of the best features of the camera was the very robust metal curtain shutter that moves vertically and like the rest of the camera was built to last! Like Miranda cameras many Prakticas of this era also put the shutter button the front of the camera at a 45 degree angle. |
