Here she is... Praktica MTL 5B.. made from 85 to 89 I think.. that doesn't matter too much though, unlike digi cams age doesn't matter, as it's the film roll that depends on the picture quality.
As you can see there are two lenses there. How can I tell what they are? I'm pretty sure the smaller one is just a 35mm, but how can I find out the other one? It doesn't say on it whether it's a 200mm or whatever, but it's pretty tight. I found an old manual for the older model here, so I'm gonna use it to figure out all the numbers and that on the lenses.
I'd have put this into the film photography forum, but I figured that the question was about lenses, thus could fit in both digi and film, or here.
And what does the "B" stand for. It gives me unlimited shutter open time, which is what I've dreamt for, but I don't know what the B stands for.
Thanks.
