Praktica Super TL 35mm Film Camera with Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm F2.8 Tessar Lens
I have tested this camera and lens combo with film and have had it developed. They are working to a certain condition (full details below). The camera is free from light leaks and the lens has no haze or fungus.
CONDITION:
Camera issues:
- Exposure count starts at 13 and then counts up correctly
- Light meter does not work (assumed corroded battery compartment)
- Slow shutter speeds below 1/50 are unreliable and the shutter may stick (bulb works correctly)
- Rippled and peeling leatherette
Lens issues:
- Does not stop down below around f/11
- Auto mode does not work at all
