Praktiflex

The Praktiflex is a 35mm SLR that was launched by KW in 1939. It was one of the very first 24x36 SLRs, its production would continue after the war and its successor the Praktica initiated a very long and successful series.

The Praktiflex had a special 40mm diameter screw thread lens mount, and could only take Praktiflex lenses.
