This is the Praktica MTL3, the first SLR camera I ever owned (rather than borrowed). I love this camera. The tough build quality (which makes my Nikon D2H feel like a toy), the brutally-loud shutter noise, the mirror slap that registers in double digits on the Richter scale, everything. And yet. I might (do) own way too many cameras, but I've always thought of myself as a camera user, not a collector. I always told myself that if one of my cameras went completely unused, that I would find a good home for it. Since I hadn't used it in well over a year, I figured it was time to let it go. I've donated it along with three Pentacon lenses to a promising photography student in the States who needed a camera for her photography classes. I'm sad to see it go, but happy that it's going to find some real use again.
