Praktica BCA electronic (SN: 9081800) + Pentacon Prakticar 50mm f/2.4 MC
A classic DDR SLR with aperture priority auto exposure and a sharp standard lens.

The Praktica BCA electronic is a 35mm SLR camera made in East Germany by Pentacon Dresden, introduced in the early 1980s. Part of the Praktica B-series, it features a modern bayonet mount (PB mount), lightweight plastic body, and aperture priority auto exposure — making it one of the more accessible manual SLRs of its era.

Paired with the Pentacon Prakticar 50mm f/2.4 MC, this set delivers sharp, characterful images with warm rendering and solid contrast. A perfect kit for analog photography enthusiasts or collectors of East German equipment.
