VINTAGE Praktica LTL3 SLR Camera with 50mm Lens, orig Case & Booklet
$195
FOR SALE:
Vintage Praktica LTL3 35mm camera in beautiful condition with matching 50mm F1.8 Pentacon lens and genuine "Pentacon" embossed fitted carry case with felt lining and matching black leather neck strap. I have also sourced a printed colour copy of the original Praktica LTL3 Owners Booklet and this will be included in the sale with the camera. This model Praktica was manufactured from 1975 -1979 in the GDR, making this model about 45 years old and a piece of history.
The camera is built like a tank and is in in great condition with no dents, nothing broken or missing. There don't appear to be any blemishes on either the camera or lens. Some kind of identification mark appears to have been VERY LIGHTLY scratched on the base plate of the camera, however this is so light I didn't even see it until I had the camera under the strong lights to photograph the camera. I couldn't even get the marks to show up in the accompanying photographs and they are too superficial to even read clearly.
There appears to be dust inside the viewfinder eyepiece, which is visible when looking through the viewfinder. I removed the lens and the dark marks in the viewfinder were still visible. When moving your eye side to side, the marks move while the focus screen doesnt, so I am pretty sure the marks are not on the mirror or focus screen but are just inside the rear viewfinder eyepiece and should clean up OK. The camera does not include a battery which is required to work the built-in light meter. The battery compartment looks nice and clean although there are light marks on the slotted battery-cover from previous use.
All functions on the camera that have been tested appear to work correctly. Pulling up on the film rewind knob still pops the rear door open for film loading, the film wind lever, the film rewind,] and the film counter still work beautifully and the counter resets when the backdoor is popped open. The self timer, depth of field preview and shutter release all work as expected. I haven't been able to check the light meter function as I don't have a suitable battery. Shutter speed dial, ASA/ISO setting collar both rotate and set easily.
The Praktica LTL3 is fitted with a screw-mount interchangeable Pentacon 50mm f1.8 lens which looks to be in great condition. The glass of the lens looks lovely and clear, and the aperture blades are crisp and snappy. The focus ring is a little stiff but turns smoothly, as does the aperture setting ring. The lens has been fitted with a 49mm HOYA Skylight 1B filter to protect the lens. The filter comes off easily and both the filter and lens look lovely and clean.
The original Pentacon fitted black patent leather case shows some light signs of wear (still very nice for a 45 year old year old item that has been used).
I have sourced a printed colour copy of the original Praktica LTL3 Owners Booklet from the internet and this will be included in the sale with the camera and case.
I will accept cash for local pickup - the camera is located in Geelong (Vic). Can be well packed and posted (at buyers expense) within Australia via Australia Post with tracking for $20, in which case payment by bank transfer will need to be made prior to posting.
I do not accept PayPal payment.
