A herd of Prakticas

[ChrisPlatt]

I see some later Praktica M42 models placed the stop-down/meter switch right next to the shutter release.
This is an ingenious design and IMO seems like it would be the next best thing to open-aperture metering.

I just bought my second "modern" Praktica, a model BMS to go along with my B200.
The bayonet models were quite competitive in features to their Japanese contemporaries.
I have heard reliability may not be as good though. Mine seem to be very well-made.
The range of Praktica bayonet lenses is small but there are some bargains as it is a "dead mount".

MikeWebb - how much would the postage be?

Sebastel - the Novas don't appeal to me.

I'll try and find out. Not all that much I imagine. Give me a day or two and I'll ask at the post office.

Hi I have now checked; £5 non tracked and very little insurance, £10 tracked and signed for.
