My PRAKTIsche CAmera collection.

The KW beauties
Here is my Praktica collection! At this moment I have got eleven of them from seven different series:
Praktiflex FX
Praktica F.X3 blue
Praktica IV 
Praktica nova 1st modification (Praktica nova series)
Porst FX4 (Praktica PL nova I series)
Praktica super TL (Praktica PL nova I series)
Porst CX4 (Praktica L series - 1st generation)
Praktica LTL3 black speed (Praktica L series - 2nd generation)
Praktica PLC3 (Praktica L series - 3rd generation)
Revue ML (Praktica L series - 4th generation)
Praktica BMS (Praktica B-System - cameras with manual speed shutter control)

PLC3 and nova

The early models (FX, F.X3 and IV) were still built by KW and then from the nova models by Pentacon.
Therefore I consider the Pentacon FB and the KW Pentona to this collection, too.

I like a lot to photograph with the Prakticas, because they're simple, but have a very good quality.
Here come some of my favorite pictures, which I shot with Prakticas:
"einsame zweisamkeit", germany, 2005: shot with the Porst FX4
"emancipate yourself from mental slavery", brasil, 2010: shot with the LTL3
"a flor desfocada #3", brasil, 2011: shot with the Porst FX4
"guevara", germany, 2015: shot with the Revue ML
"der kran #3", germany, 2015: shot with the Porst CX4
Say "yes" to the PRAKTICA
