Praktica MTL3 with Auto Chinon 35mm f/2.8 lens. This camera also comes with an original Praktica case!
The Praktica MTL 3 is an East German SLR made by Pentacon, using the 42mm screw mount. It was produced in high numbers between 1978 and 1984. It is said to be based on the LTL 3. It's a solidly made camera with some rather crude and advanced features. The camera's successor is the Praktica MTL 5.
The MTL 3 has a metering system that is integrated in the mirror. This makes it important to handle the mirror with care, or rather, never to touch it at all. A needle on the right side of the viewfinder indicates the correct exposure; "o" is correct, "+" means overexposed, "-" underexposed. This makes it a perfect camera for a beginner!
