Asset Overview

The Praktica MTL 5 B is a 35mm SLR made in Dresden, East Germany by Pentacon between 1985 & 1989. About 567,000 examples were produced[1]. It is a minor upgrade from the Praktica MTL 5. It features TTL exposure metering, triggered by a stop down button next to the front-mounted shutter release. A match-needle display on the right side of the viewfinder indicates whether the chosen combination of shutter speed and aperture will lead to under-, over-, or correct exposure. The meter is powered by a battery fitted in the base. On early models a PX625 mercury battery was required; later models used the LR44 alkaline. Batteries are not required if metering is not used. Film speed set by lifting and turning the shutter speed dial.
