The camera I've used for many of the shots on here. The MTL 5's were produced from 1983 to 1985 by VEB Pentacon, in Dresden when that part of Germany was considered the German Democratic Republic. I've had mine for about two years now, and even though it's rather antiquated by today's standards (even compared to my Praktica B-cameras), it does everyhing a manual SLR should without complaint, and despite the limits of the photographer. Left out the lower part of the lens to hide the tripod better.
Praktica B100, Kodak 200UC.
Cropped, converted to b/w.
Thanks for adding my deviation. Its nice to see someone else still using an MTL 5 - I have an MTL 3 somewhere, too but its not working too well. Got both of them of my Granded who had them from new, so they've certainly had some use!
Does he still have it? I almost want to be suprised at how well they still work today.
Curently I'm using a TL5 B (same basic camera, with minor internal changes) while I'm in the Middle East, along with the digital I've been using for Firearms and Devices.

I switch out between the MTL 5, a TL 5B, and a BC 1.
It got used in some air to air shots as I remember.
