Product code: Vintage Praktica B100 discount Electronic camera in leather case
Vintage Praktica B100 Electronic camera in leather case. Not tested.
The camera has a fully automatic shutter speed setting – it's not possible to select the shutter speed yourself, other than by changing the aperture to shift it. This camera was aimed at the beginner photographer who wanted a ‘point and shoot' camera. The metering is carried out ‘through the lens' at full aperture and is powered by a PX28 battery fitted in the bottom of the discount camera. The lens has electronic contacts which allow the metering circuitry to read the aperture value set on the lens so all the composition, focusing and aperture selection is carried out with the brightest view possible and the aperture stopped down only at the moment of exposure.
