Introduced in the late 1970s, it was the first of the \"B-series\" to feature the advanced Praktica B-bayonet mount. This camera is highly regarded for its electronic aperture-priority automation, which allows photographers to select their desired aperture while the camera instantly calculates the perfect shutter speed. With its sleek, compact design and remarkably bright viewfinder, the B200 offers a professional feel and precise control. It is a fantastic choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the rugged mechanical heritage of Dresden combined with the convenience of reliable electronic exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eAdvanced Aperture-Priority automatic exposure for fast and accurate shooting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eBright viewfinder with split-image rangefinder and microprism for critical focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eVertical-travel metal focal-plane shutter with speeds up to 1\/1000s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eCompact and ergonomic all-metal body design for superior durability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eDedicated exposure compensation dial for creative control in tricky lighting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eLED shutter speed display inside the viewfinder for seamless monitoring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eCompatible with the high-quality range of Prakticar B-bayonet lenses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm Roll Film\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Praktica B-mount (PB)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eShutter Speeds: 1s to 1\/1000s + Bulb (Stepless in Auto)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eCategory: Cameras ▸ 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003eBattery Type: 1x 4LR44 (6V) Battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Praktica B200 (S\/N: 3340510) is a bit of a hidden gem in the world of vintage SLRs. While many people look toward Japanese brands, this German-made machine offers an incredibly tactile experience. The shutter has a very distinct, satisfying 'snick' to it, and the B-mount lenses—often made by Pentacon or Carl Zeiss Jena—are famous for their character and sharpness. It’s a very compact camera compared to the older screw-mount Prakticas, making it much more comfortable for street photography. If you want a camera that feels mechanical but works with the speed of an electronic system, the B200 is an outstanding choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 3340510) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The film chamber and pressure plate are clean. The shutter has been tested and fires accurately across the speed range. The light meter and LED viewfinder display are fully functional.
