Something out of the ordinary

[John Parry]

Have a look at this baby.....

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7573122036&fromMakeTrack=true

If the link doesn't work, search on Item No# 7573122036. Never seen one of these before - or even heard them mentioned on any of the Praktica sites.

Very interesting. Looks similar to a standard MTL (but then they all look very similar) model with an endoscope mount (used during surgury to photograph the icky bits) instead of a lens. Also seems to have cross hairs of some sort. I wonder if it has TTL metering?

Heath, it has all of the earmarkings of a standard model L. There's no meter as there's no battery compartment. If there's anything out of the ordinary about it other than the nameplate, I fail to see it. The optical attachment is different but that's pretty much it. Still, it should be a prize for a collector because medical cameras from the East are not common.

Don't know about handling it. You don't know where it has been. (Actually, we DO know where it has been)
