Black Praktica LTL - 3 35mm SLR Film Camera - Limited Working Condition.

I'm very sad to be parting with my Praktica. This was the camera that I first learned to shoot 35mm film on and was given to me by an artist who used it to take stills for his paintings. It uses the M42 lens mount found on Pentax, Fujica and Zenit 35mm cameras. It is fully mechanical and requires no batteries. It's a tank, built very solidly in the GDR. Unfortunately, like German communism, this camera is not without its issues. The shutter is fully functional. However, the advance/take-up sprocket is cracked which leads to an irregular number of frames in each roll. This can be fixed by fabricating a new sprocket or getting one from another old Praktica. The lens is also stuck wide open but should be able to be fixed with a quick clean.
