All about Praktica cameras

Many modern companies involved in the production of cameras appeared a long time ago. Almost all of them have been producing very high quality products for many years in a row. One such company is Praktica.

The history of Praktica dates back to the 1830s, when the first film camera was developed in Dresden. Today Praktica continues to bring world-class optics to the market with products that are rich in features and relatively low cost.

Dresden (East Germany) has become an innovation center for camera production, renowned for the entrepreneurship of the Entsmann brothers, Richard Hüttig, Emil Wünsche and Heinrich Ernemann.

Four of Germany's largest camera manufacturers merge to form Zeiss-Ikonmaking Dresden the largest camera manufacturing region.

The first 35mm SLR camera was invented in Dresden with double, interchangeable lenses and built-in exposure meter.

The 35mm Praktiflex SLR was launched. The concept proved to be a success, and thanks to the continuous development of Praktica, it became one of the most popular 35mm SLR brands for several decades.

Praktica's first official single-lens reflex camera was manufactured with an M42 mount. The new Praktica models followed the FX, IV, V, Nova, L-series, which quickly gained popularity in the GDR and around the world. Only then did Praktica gain worldwide recognition in the production of cameras of excellent quality.

Under the socialist (economic) regime, camera and lens manufacturers systematically united to form the Pentacon company.

Pentacon teamed up with Carl Zeiss Jena to introduce a range of state-of-the-art sports cameras and binoculars.

With the collapse of communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall, the partnership between Pentacon and Karl Zeiss ended. Following this, the Schneider Group invested heavily in Pentacon, helping them continue to manufacture Praktica cameras.

Praktica continues to produce photography devices and sports optics designed for both hobbyists and professional users.

Whether your hobbies are birdwatching, athletics, horse racing or an evening at the opera, these products will help you capture those memorable moments.
