Hello All,

I have just opened up a point and press camera from my inherited collecting from my dad and found there to be film inside the frame number at present reads S does that mean start ( I guess it does !) Does anyone have any info on this camera I have tried an Internet search but cannot dig any thing up other than pictures and for sale adds.

Thanks all

A photo of your camera would be helpful.

According to Sylvain Halgand's site, it date from the early 90's and only take iso200/400.

Ps: You know its obscure when the question is among the google results lolll

Never seen this model. All rebranded models I know got the brand Pentacon not Praktica.

It looks very like a range of cameras I sold in the 1990's called Premier. Don't know if that was their real name as the manufacturer made a lot of own brand labeled cameras.
