    If I ever shoot 35mm, which is rare these days, its always with my trusty Praktica and a modest collection of Pentacon lenses... 35mm, 50mm, 70mm, a zoom, and a macro with a 4x converter.

    Pentacon is what the original Zeiss factory became under Soviet control. Praktica was then also an East German product. It is very robust, mechanical and bullet proof. I once dropped it off the roof of a building onto concrete, about 6 floors up. The casing was badly cronked but it still works perfectly and is light safe.

    • It takes the kind of shots you always hope 35mm will look.Orbit
