At this auction, I suggest a German Pentacon Pentina M - 35mm SLR Camera with Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 Lens. It is in good condition, with all its systems are functioning normally. Lens has a smooth stroke, normal working aperture without mushrooms. The lens is numbered 6065610. The only drawback of this rare collector's camera is that at a speed of 1/15, 8, 4, 2, 1 and B the shutter curtain closes slowly and with difficulty. This is a very rare collector's model produced in 1963-65. The camera comes with its original leather case.  A top find for photographers and collectors - you will get what you see in the photos. I suggest a brief technical description of the collector's camera: This is a Pentina M, a 35mm Single Lens Reflex camera originally made by VEB Kamera-Und Kinowerke Dresden, and then later by VEB Pentacon Dresden between the years 1963 and 1965.  The Pentina was a very unique looking camera with shutter priority automatic exposure, a selenium cell exposure meter, a central leaf shutter, and a sleek body that completely hid the angular pentaprism normally found on the top of typical SLRs of the day.  The camera had it’s own unique bayonet lens mount and supported a couple lenses that were produced for it.  A combination of an unorthodox left handled control layout, a lens mount that was incompatible with anything else out there, and an over saturation in the market caused the Pentina to only be produced for about 4 years before it was discontinued making it a rather uncommon camera today.
