the poorer sister of pentasixTL

i like unusual cameras. i didn't want to have hasselblad, i wamted bronica. and i didn't want to have a pentasixTL, i wanted a praktisx. sometimes the disadvantage of picking the 'other' model of something famous is that it might have failures. my praktisix doesn't shoot at 1/125. it opens the curtain, but doesn't close again. all other speeds work perfectly. i needed one film to learn it. i only shot three frames at other speeds. i now marked 1/125 with a red dot on the shutter speed dial to remind me of the cameras little failure. or let us tell it 'sign of personality'.

    Coincido en la opinión. Me gusta cierto tipo de cámaras como las Praktica en vez de Pentax, Nikon o Canon, marcas "prestigiosas". Las Praktica son eficaces pero simples. También prefiero Foma en vez de Kodak, Fuji o Ilford
