das Logo neben dem Pentagon Logo ist das DDR Zeichen für Top Qualität. Es ist eine Eins im Siegerkranz. Wurde auch zB bei den Glashütte Uhren für Chronometer Qualität auf das Zfferblatt aufgedruckt. Es zeichnet den höchsten Qualitätsstandart aus.
FYI: the T2 screw mount is an early Tamron standard for interchangeable lens mounts, the threads are totally different, and a T2 lens still needs a M42 adapter to fit properly. The other logo on the bottom of the camera is the Q1 mark, used by the DDR to indicate that the product was of best quality.
Thank you so much for revealing the "functionless" wheel on the left side - i couldn't find that information anywhere else :) -Do you know if the wheel on the right that says "color" is also just a reminder for my self?
The one I have was imported by Hanimex. I have an Industar lens for it but I lost it a while back. One thing I've noticed about these cameras is just how reliable they are- despite showing obvious signs of neglect this camera functioned flawlessly when I found it and it still works seven years later. Try that with an old Canon.

Nice one, looking forward to see more Praktica reviews with more details too :) Thanks for sharing!

On 'B' can you depress the shutter button & then lock it in place with the shutter open for time exposures by turning the dial to lock it?
How do you open the back?
