Some good advice there.
Although we don't get much sun in Wales, I wonder how many people in the past knew what a lens + sun could do to a cloth shutter curtain.
Apparently it still happens, just google and check it out , particularly Leica.
This might help

Only 80 made apparently and look at the price when new.
And we are up to post 200!
Hi AgX,
To be honest I've not taken much notice of the grading symbols.
Do you think it makes any difference or was it just a marketing gimmick?
Everyone look at the base of your Prakticas now for one upmanship
An interesting explanation. Though when you look at the bottom you'll see at the right something that looks to me like remnants of that "1" in a tringle, which means "high Quality", a designation which was standard for all Prakticas.
And did not use the ADN press agency Nikon F2s long before?
Another collectors site explains that "S" as designation for those B200 sold via CZJ Ltd. ,UK.
Thanks for that darthj,
Very interesting.
The search for a B200S begins!
I agree cuthbert,
How are you loading your pics? Are you scanning?
AgX the guide number / distance calculator on the bottom of the lens had me fooled initially.
