AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Film camera Praktica MTL 5 with Pentacon 135mm f/2.8 lens in M42 mount.
I am selling a film kit consisting of a Praktica MTL 5 body and a Pentacon 135mm f/2.8 lens in M42 mount.
The Praktica MTL 5 is a fully mechanical 35mm SLR, renowned for its robustness and reliability. It operates without batteries for the mechanical shutter, making it an ideal body for learning and practicing analog photography. It offers shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/1000, as well as a B long exposure mode. Light metering is via an integrated cell.
The Pentacon 135mm f/2.8 is a bright telephoto lens, appreciated for its soft rendering, pleasant bokeh and versatility in portrait, detail and plane compression. It is fully manual and compatible with the M42 mount, very common and easy to adapt on many digital bodies with an adapter ring.
Operational condition
The camera works perfectly for all essential functions. Shutter release is smooth and speeds operate correctly. The only point to note is that the film advance lever does not automatically spring back to the original position due to a fatigued return spring. The mechanism remains fully usable and film advance works correctly with manual return of the lever.
Aesthetic condition
Very good overall condition, with light wear consistent with its age. Please carefully check the photos for more details on the aesthetic condition.
Ideal set for film enthusiasts, collectors or photographers wanting a vintage look with a characterful lens. Solid, reliable gear and ready to use.
