A selection of cameras, in no particular order.
#10
   

An Exakta? Not quite. In 1969 the last camera branded "Exakta" from an East German company, was produced. This was a product  of Pentacon, and was based on the body of the soon to be released Praktica L series cameras. It had a removeable prism, a self timer which allowed timed exposures past 1 second, and shutter releases on both left and right hand sides. The left hand release allowed the use of automatic lenses produced for older Exakta models. There was no built in light meter, but there was a metering prism available. The camera lasted in production until 1973.

In 1974 Pentacon released the Praktica VLC. This had most of the functions of the RTL1000, without Exakta lens compatability, and included a light meter behind the mirror. I have yet to see a VLC for sale in New Zealand.
I do have other cameras!
