whoelse said:I somehow always try to avoid camera that use CdS meter cell.
whoelse said:But then, most of these camera are quite reliable as you can tell that they are more then 20yrs old at least. Modern technology entry model can be as cheap as these old manual camera. For someone who want to do photography it is cheaper and easier to get more modern AF. If you want to get job done it is faster also. Most modern entry modern is capable of what you need to do to produce professional result.
whoelse said:Cheat, what manual gem you have?

foxtwo said:You have to consider where are you going to repair/overhaul the praktica when it breaks down. Might not be possible in s'pore. I went to p&g @ adelphi with an old prakitca slr, the owner said he can't repair it as the body components cannot be removed seperately and anyway he doesn't have the parts for replacement.
whoelse said:No need repair, get another one from ebay. As cheap as USD$20 add usd$20 for shipping. Repair/Overhaul minimum is $140 u see.
