Praktica MTL3

The Praktica MTL3, produced between 1978 and 1984 by East German manufacturer Pentacon, is an SLR with an interesting mix of features. Perhaps most notable are the rock solid metal shutter curtains and the TTL metering system integrated into the mirror.

This particular camera is sporting a Helios f2 58mm 44-2 scavenged from a trashed $1 Zenit E.
