| MTL 5 with the typical Pentacon 50mm/1.8 standard lens by the other Martin Taylor |
The Praktica MTL5 is a 35mm SLR made in East Germany by Pentacon between 1983 & 1985. There is TTL exposure metering, triggered by a switch next to the front-mounted shutter release; this stops down the lens, and operates a needle-centring display on the right edge of the viewfinder. The meter is powered by a battery fitted in the base, and its film speed set by lifting and rotating the shutter speed dial.
The vertical, metal-curtained focal plane shutter runs from 1s to 1/1000s +B, with a self-timer giving a delay of about 7 seconds. The vertical blades allow X-flash sync up to 1/125s.
Interchangeable lenses are fixed with an M42 screw mount.
The camera gives an impression of solid, but basic engineering - and has an incredibly strong mirror slap recoil.
