Good evening,

I bought a 50mm lens with a Praktica and paid €15 for it. The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition, although it's quite dusty. The lens is dusty too, but I noticed that the filter threads are damaged; it took a hit in that area.


Where the word "coating" is written, is the defect present

Can I try using this camera?

I've seen a few videos where they give advice on how to use it. I can try it gently with this one. here.

Of course, you can try to use it. Please go ahead and go ahead. You'll find tools online to repair damaged filter threads, too, but they may cost more than you paid for your camera. Best of luck to you
