Introduction To The Praktica LTL 3 Film SLR

I picked this old East German camera up at a car boot sale a few weeks ago - it came with a 2.8 / 29mm lens and a working light-meter.

@zhemin No it doesn't need batteries to operate, it only needs batteries for the light meter.

I have the same camera, picked mine up at a thrift store for about 14.00 bucks Canadian, I have since picked up a few other lenses, it is my favorite camera that I use for macro photography. It is such a reliable camera, virtually foolproof. It's a pity that it is getting harder and harder to buy and have 35mm film processed.

Yes it's a hot shoe for flash.

these things are invincible! i've had three different models and none of them has ever given me any trouble :) no rotting mirror damper foam or light seals, no dodgy shutters. really impressive and simple design

Terrible. You should pick up a shovel, not a camera.
