Tsch Tsch Tsch. That's my first 35mm camera you are slanging. :-))
Those waist level finders had a magnifying glass to help focus.
For me, graduating from a Kershaw King Penguin on a student's wage (which
I had in forestry in the 1950's) the Practika FX was a dream and I took many
fine shots including kodachromes that I still have in great condition. Had it
not been stolen from my room while in college I'd probably still have it.
Combined with a Weston Master exposure meter, it was a great way to learn
35mm photography.
Yes, OM's are better, but the Practica was a good, affordable (especially at
Trade price) camera which served me very well. Took it half way around the
world.
Cheers, Brian
