I manage to get some shots of my 1st film camera -- Praktica MTL5 along with my Prakticar 28-70 zoom f/3.5-4.8. Two of my brothers got me this film camera long time ago when I was a teenager starting out with interest in photography. I still remembered one particular night that my 3rd brother Antonio drove me all around Macau and Taipa island for a night shooting of Macau.
I used my K100D with Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 to make it a complete shoot on M42 lens shooting M42 lens -- all in hand-held snapshots with manual focusing and stop down metering. First three shots are done with Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 and the rest are done with Prakitcar 28-70 zoom.Praktica MTL5 + Prakticar 28-70 f/3.5-4.8 MC zoom

Love the contrast look

My favorite shot

Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 wide open
Please don't go shop crazy for these lens as the Prakitcar 28-70 is really hard in focusing with a short focusing ring. I am dumb founded today in using it on shooting the Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 & SuperTak 35mm f/3.5. All editing in post processing are done in Picasa with minor tunning on 'I am feeling lucky', 'shadow', 'highlight' and light adjustmentRelated:

Love Praktica's Camera, Strong for using.
Also have Praktica MTL 50 and Pentacon 50mm f1.8, it's charming when bringing with.
My Praktica is now left almost like a collector item. I may take it out for a test roll.
Praktica cameras are very solid, And very good for analog photo! I have an old PRaktica LB still 100% working, and a beautiful series of MTL5, 5b, 50, TL1000.
Thank you for the visit. I have been waiting for a chance to run through a roll of film on my Praktika. I have sold all of my 42 lenses already, it is a shame in fighting with too many unused lens. But I did get a adaptall-2 in m42 mount and I have tamron adaptall-2 lenses to use with my Praktica MTL5 film camera.
