Praktica PLC 2 35mm SLR Film Camera
The Praktica PLC 2 is a mid-1970s 35mm SLR produced in East Germany, part of the later generation of Praktica bodies built around electronic shutter control. It uses the M42 screw mount and incorporates TTL metering, with exposure information displayed via LEDs in the viewfinder rather than a needle system. The body is heavy and straightforward, with minimal cosmetic flourishes and a layout that reflects its utilitarian origins. It was designed as a practical working camera, prioritizing reliability and compatibility with a wide range of M42 lenses over refinement or compactness.
This camera has been converted to use 625 batteries. In addition, the meter mode ring is a 3D printed replacement.
Every vintage item we restore has a story, and we take great care to preserve its authenticity. Our trained technicians carefully inspect, clean and service each piece, retaining original components whenever possible. When necessary, we incorporate high-quality replacement parts to ensure reliability and longevity. The result is a thoughtfully restored vintage item that’s fully functional and ready for a second life.
Please note vintage items will show signs of previous use. While we carefully restore each piece to ensure full functionality, cosmetic wear and slight variations from the product photos should be expected.
