It is also highly effective for experimental photography, as the M42 mount allows you to easily swap between hundreds of affordable vintage lenses to achieve different \"looks.\" For portrait photography, we recommend pairing this body with a Pentacon 50mm f\/1.8 or a Helios-44 lens. Because this camera uses stop-down metering, remember to engage the lever next to the shutter release to get an accurate light reading before you fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMenu-category (HTF-store):\u003c\/b\u003e Cameras \u0026gt; SLR Film Cameras \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"54\"\u003eCategory:\u003c\/b\u003e SLR Film Cameras \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"81\"\u003eHS Code:\u003c\/b\u003e 9006510000\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"101\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e East Germany (GDR)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praktica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53441276051796,"sku":"B68W5058IP","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/IMG_4507_96030e25-df1e-4e5f-a51f-4e14c571bcf2.jpg?v=1769091398","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/pl\/products\/praktica-mtl-3","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
