I gave that Praktica, along with several other old cameras to a coworker who had a collection. I stopped using the Prak because the shutter developed problems holding a consistent shutter speed. Probably just dirty and needed a good cleaning - at shop rates it would have been too costly. The other cameras used the large format paper-backed film sizes that are not found today... 120, 620, and 3.5"(?)... I still have a decent 110 camera (now there's an oxymoron!) that I used to take on bike trips after beating the snot out of the Prak on two TOSRVs...

Before the Praktica I had also 'killed' the hand-me-down Minolta 7s that was dad's before he got the Pentax...



...and I killed the Argus C-3 that mom had in the early '50s...
