PENTACON PRAKTICA LTL with 135 auto zoom lens and Bilora tripod.

The Praktica LTL is an East German 35mm SLR camera with interchangeable M42 screw-mount lenses and stop down TTL metering, produced from December 1970 to November 1975 by Pentacon. It has a vertical-position focal length shutter, with speeds from 1s to 1/1000 + B, and a self-timer controlled by a rotary lever below the front-mounted trigger. The meter is operated by a button on the side of the mirror housing, which is pushed back to retract the lens and activate the meter. Meter film speeds are set with a scale inserted into the top of the shutter speed dial. The meter requires a PX625 mercury battery or equivalent; otherwise the camera is completely mechanical.Made in East Germany, with lens Pentacon auto 2.8/135 MC, serial number 8209747.
