Praktica L + Pentacon 50mm f/1.8

Description

Praktica L (SN: 085795) + Pentacon 50mm f/1.8
A fully mechanical East German SLR with a fast, classic prime lens.

The Praktica L is a robust, fully mechanical 35mm SLR camera made in the former East Germany by VEB Pentacon Dresden. Introduced in the early 1970s, the L-series was known for its clean design, durability, and use of the universal M42 screw mount, which allows compatibility with a wide range of vintage lenses.

Paired with the Pentacon 50mm f/1.8, this kit delivers beautiful bokeh, sharp results, and reliable performance. The lens has a bright maximum aperture of f/1.8, making it well-suited for portraits, low-light shooting, and general photography.
