Same as Praktica LLC by VEB Pentacon AG. The Praktica LLC was made from December 1969 to December 1975 by Pentacon, the East German super "combinate" which had gathered most of former East Germany's camera production in one company. It was the first SLR for interchangeable lenses with electrical transfer of the lens's aperture value to the camera body. Therefore it had three contact plates in the lens mount. Thus it was possible to use TTL-metering by means of a match-needle meter instrument visible thru the finder at maximum lens aperture. The camera uses 35mm film with speeds 12 to 1600 ASA. It has a focal plane shutter made of steel lamellae, with speeds B, 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250,1/500, 1/1000 of a second. It also has an M42 lens screw mount with aperture release shifter and electrical contacts for aperture value transmission, a coupled TTL meter that helps with its match-needle "scale" in the viewfinder to adjust shutter speed and aperture, and a Pentaprism finder, fresnel lens focus screen, in the middle a microprism area, and a triangle that appears when the camera is not cocked for the next shot. Other features are the single stroke rapid lever film advance with exposure counter, fast film load system, shutter flash synchronized up to speed 1/125 second, bulb flashguns for speed 1/30 second, and a hot shoe. 176,697 Praktica LLC’s were made in the 6 years of production. The battery was a VARTA V21 PX made with mercury the replacement is a standard CR 123 A 3,0 V battery with a special adapter which you can get through PRAKTICA (www.praktica.de,) Pentacon GmbH, Praktica-Service, Foto- und Feinwerktechnik, Enderstr. 94, 01277 Dresden, Tel.: 0351/2589230).
