I really love my Praktica MTL3 becouse this was my first reflex ever, bought more or less in 1985.
It was manufactured in DDR by Pentacon, a part of Zeiss Ikon which was split in two after WWII.
MTL3 is a very strong camera. My camera was sleeping in a drawer for 25 years and it worked fine when I put back inside the film and the exposimeter battery.
