Made between 1978 to 1984 by Pentacon.

Technical info

1/1000s to 1s and Bulb

-Flash sync (1/30 sec)

-self-timer



Viewfinder:

Okay size but quite dark.


Build quality:

Good build quality.


Lenses:

Uses M42 screw mount.
You can find hole range of old nice lenses for this.



Operating + Sounds
Praktica MTL 3





Conclusion:

This look and feel exacly like the Pentacon Praktica LTL that I have testad before.
But this have a better viewfinder, flash sync connection.

Still missing the mirror lock and the viewfinder is fairly dark.

So you get a all mechanical camera that's very reliable but I think it lakes that nice feel many cameras from the 70s have.

Thumbs up:
All mechanical shutter
Reliable

Thumbs down:
Fairly dark viewfinder
No mirror lock
