Praktica Super TL1000

The Praktica Super TL1000 is an East German made SLR which uses the M42 screw mount.
It is normally sold with a Carl Zeiss or Pentacon branded 50mm Tessar lens. Due to the M42 mount, there is a large number of lenses that can be used made by dozens of companies, including the Soviets and Carl Zeiss, and many Japanese third party companies.
It handles fairly well and has the shutter release on the front right side. The body itself is almost rectangular in shape, with only very slightly curved corners.
It has a wide range of shutter speeds from 1sec to 1000th and B. It uses a coupled match needle meter which is activated by the stop down lever next to the shutter release.
Overall, it's a good user camera that can be found cheaply on most used markets in the world.
