Vintage Praktina FX w/ Steinheil Munchen Quinon f1.9 55mm and T-Mount KW Germany
The Praktina FX was truly a remarkable camera well ahead of the competition in it's time. Features a breech lock lens mount tha solves many lens wear problems, removable eye level prism that allows for a waist level viewfinder, and optical viewfinder for point and shoot applications.
The Steinheil Munchen Quinon 1:1.9 f=55mm Manual focus lens, Preset stops from 1.9-16, 7 blade aperture is a rare and sought after beauty in itself. In the 50's and 60's this lens was considered the cream of the crop, a notch above Zeiss and Leitz, and to this day provides nearly unmatched quality.
The Praktina to T-Mount is provided as a bonus so you can keep your rare lens aside for special occasions and still have what you need to attach a daily shooter.
Condition:Camera is used, in very good to excellent shape. Very little wear. Mechanics are sound and problem free. Everything functions as it should. Optics are clear. Prism glass has a streak and could use a good cleaning. Delay works well, activating mirror, lens, and shutter with perfect timing.Lens not mint, but in very good shape. There may be some fine dust behind the rear element and on the focusing group, but it is hard to see and does not show in focusing or on photographs. Semi-auto aperture reacts smoothly and instantly to plunger press.
T-Mount shows very little signs of use.
See pictures for accurate detail. Can take more photos on request. Sold as-is, no returns. Feel free to ask any questions before buying.
Please research what you are buying and offer accordingly. I will not sell lens separate from camera at this time, thank you.
This camera was part of my Great Grandmother's photography equipment. She worked for the USDA and was also a museum curator. Her photographs depict a lifetime of traveling the world. The collection was then passed to my Firefighter father who used it in taking pictures on scene for investigations and for the local paper. It all then came to me and I used it to photograph the world from animals in death valley to bloody Eastern Europe conflicts. I now have not taken a picture on actual film since 2001 and no one in my family is interested in the outdated relics. They will be better served in a well loved collection. I will be listing each piece as I get time. Thank you for looking and considering!Click here to see all of our current camera equipment listings.
