Hello All,

Well my Praktica L took a tumble down our concrete steps in the garden assisted by my best friend (our dog)catching the neck strap denting the pentaprism badly.

So they do break

Anyway, I'm looking for a fully working replacement body in the UK.
Preferably L but L2 would be ok.

Many Thanks.

Do you think the outcome would be much better with a brass top?
 
Hi Agx,

Possibly, camera still functions in all other departments though.
 
Have a look at flea markets, you'll probably find a replacement for a few quid.

Hi Helios,
We don't have many flea markets or decent car boot sales down this way in west Wales.
Probably have to take a chance with Ebay, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I've bought quite a bit of equipment on Ebay over the years, mostly good,but my last two photographic purchases were not as described, but I did get full refunds.
 
Got myself a nice LTL3 to see me over for the time being.

Excellent, I hope you will share your results with us on the Praktica appreciation thread : )

I should do I started that thread I've always had a soft spot for Prakticas.
Apart from the L & L2 I think the LTL and the LTL3 were the best of the mechanical M42 Prakticas.
