Default 35mm Camera kit.

Two Praktika mtl50 bodies.
35-70 zoom lens
50 lens
flashgun
extension rings
2 2x doublers
plus some basic filters on the lenses. iirc.
also a 200mm zoom not working (aperture) after being blown off car roof in Tenerife some 15 years ago! also includes :

All comes in a typical grey/silver camera bag.



(forgot to say : drop me a PM if you're interested).

Collection only (or arrange pickup/pony express) Northampton. Haven't used it in years and prob not worth a lot now as lenses are screw fit NOT bayonet.

If any of these 'convert 35mm SLR to digital' projects had ever got off the ground.... Just too expensive to develop film these days.

I'll wait 'til your Practika gear has gone - and then try and do the same with mine
Tried Ebay and the only responses were from people in Eastern Europe.

Times two, have the same stuff, was used regular until the compact 35mm cameras came on the scene, the wife had one , so we tended to use that rather than carry the big camera bag around. As a result ,the battery went flat and corroded inside the camera body, replaced it with a new one, but don't think it was working properly.

Practika cameras were good workhorses modestly priced and lens werent bad, but today unless there is a collector out there thery are virtually worthless and M42 lens are almost dinosaurs, at least those who have bayonet mounts can still be used on digital SLRs in a manual mode I still use my Minolta rokkor lens on my Nikon using a convertor with excellent results

I used to have a Praktika B1 I think it was.
I always found it to be an excellent camera and if memory serves.
Sadly it and all lenses etc got stolen

Avulon, is your Praktika kit still available? My Daughter is starting a camera collection and i'm looking for odd bits for her. She has a Nikon D70 for general use, but i'm keen to show her 'real' film.

Cheers, John
