General Praktica LTL Information
The Praktica LTL is an East German 35mm SLR camera with interchangeable M42 screw-mount lenses and stop down TTL metering, produced from December 1970 to November 1975 by Pentacon.
It was one of the first series of L models, comprising the L with no built-in meter, the LBwith an external selenium meter and match needle display on the top plate, the LLC with open aperture TTL metering and a lens mount with electrical contacts handling communication of the chosen aperture between the camera and lens, and the VLC, which was like the LLC, but with interchangeable viewfinders.
The LTL has a vertical-travel focal plane shutter, with speeds from 1s to 1/1000 + B and a 10 second self-timer operated by a rotating lever below the front-mounted shutter-release.
The meter is operated by a paddle on the side of the mirror housing, which is pushed back to stop down the lens (and activate the meter). This also functions as a DOFpreview switch. The viewfinder display is the center-the-needle type. Film speeds for the meter are set by a scale inset into the top of the shutter-speed dial. The meter requires a PX625 mercury battery or equivalent; otherwise camera is entirely mechanical.
Focusing is via a Fresnel lens with central micro-prism spot and ground glass outer collar.
There is a hot shoe connection for flash, but no separate PC socket.
The shutter release is locked until the film has been advanced, and camera has a warning system via a viewfinder warning flag, which disappears when the film is wound. There is also a shutter release lock, whereby turning the button until two dots on a collar around the shutter release button and the release button itself align locks the shutter release.
There were several variations of the LTL, for example, with and without a pentaprism Pentacon logo, with and without a self-timer, and with two differently sized shutter release buttons, in addition to all black versions.

Looking after your camera
Use a Camera Bag
A camera bag does more than just protect the camera against scratches and dust: It keeps it safe from rain because many are waterproof on the outside.
Be Very Careful Around the LCD Screen and Camera Lens
Use only special equipment to clean your camera’s LCD screen and camera lens. Buy a special cleaning kit that includes liquid solutions, microfiber cloths and brushes that have been specially designed to clean your camera lens.
Never Leave Your Batteries in Your Camera for Too Long
Many camera batteries are now alkaline or lithium formats. If you keep your camera with the batteries inside of it in a moist area, then the batteries can get corrosive. So if you’re thinking about just putting your camera on the shelf for several months, do yourself a favor and remove them.
Turn Your Camera Off Prior to Doing Anything
Before you do anything to your camera, always keep in mind that it should be turned off first. No matter what it is—swapping lenses, changing memory cards or disconnecting or attaching cables—your camera should be turned off.
Cold and Wet Weather Can Wreak Havoc on Your Camera Body
Take your camera out only in a waterproof bag. If the weather’s unusually cold, just wrap your camera in a plastic bag that has silica desiccant packets for the reduction of moisture. It’s also a smart idea to have a soft towel with you to wipe off any moisture, just in case it should get on your camera.
Good Memory Card Care Is Good Camera Care
Only transport your memory cards inside of a protective caseMake sure the memory cards stay dust-free at all times. When removing memory cards, make sure you do so indoors or in non-dusty situations.
Make sure that you keep memory cards only in cool places. Never keep them in places where they may heat up, like dashboards or glove compartments.
Never place your memory cards close to magnetic sources. Examples of magnetic sources are things such as audio speakers, TV monitors and actual magnets.
Use a Filter to Protect Your Camera Lens
The lens of your camera is naturally fragile. As such, it’s susceptible to scratches, cracks, dents…you name it. A UV filter will not only will you give your lens a fighting chance, but you’ll also enhance the quality of your pictures.
Condensation Can Be Controlled
Condensation normally happens when you move your camera between different temperatures.
Allow your camera a chance to naturally get used to the hotter environment. Don’t place it inside a closed plastic bag when transporting it between different temperatures! Just let the camera sit in the humid temperature for a while, until condensation disappears.
If this still doesn’t get rid of all of it, you can utilize a soft cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture and marks left behind from the condensation.
