AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Praktina FX photographic set in remarkable, near-mint condition. Rare!
Made in Germany, it features the Praktina lens mount and is equipped with an Angénieux 28 mm f/3.5 “Retrofocus” lens (in the version recognizable by its three rings with distinctive, wide knurling).
This mount variant is extremely rare.
The camera is in excellent condition and has been very well preserved. The lenses are perfectly clear, with flawless coatings; only very faint microscopic cleaning marks are visible.
All the camera’s functions have been tested and are working; the shutter and film-advance mechanism operate correctly. The only minor drawback is that the slow speeds—1 second and 1/2 second—are slightly sluggish (a little lubricant should be enough to fix this). Otherwise, all the other speeds are accurate; the camera has never been disassembled or repaired, has no light leaks, and the viewfinder is perfectly clean.
An ideal piece for a collection.
