Praktica BC1 - Electronic

This camera is an excellent choice for Darkroom photography students or any photographer who enjoys the art of developing film yourself.

The camera is clean and functions excellently.

This camera is a good condition. It has scratches at the bottom of the body from resting the camera in rough tables. It is missing button #23; I've never used and don't see the point of it.

The PRAKTICA BC 1 is a quality miniature SLR camera with fully automatic shutter speed control in a range between 1/1000 s and 40 s. In addition, the camera's microelectronics make possible photography at fixed shutter speeds between 1/1000s and 1 s and unlimited shutter speeds with the B setting. The open-aperture TTL metering means a really bright viewfinder image as a result of the electronic transmission of aperture values from the lens to the camera.17 LEDs at the right-hand edge of the viewfinder image provide information on all important shot data and operations, such as the shutter speed to be expected, underexposure and overexposure, automatic and semi-automatic operating modes as well as flash readiness with dedicated computerised flash units. In addition, the preselected aperture setting is visible at the bottom of the viewfinder image. Manual corrections can be made for deliberate overexposures and underexposures.

The PRAKTICA BC 1 is suitable for use with both normal electronic flash units and computerised flash units.

NOTE - Button #23 is missing. When I was shooting portraits down the park that button came loose. I took it off to replace it when I got back home but I seem to have lost it in the long grass. I've never used that button and it's not necessary either.

COBRA D400 - Dedicated Flash

This flash is in a great condition. It's clean and has no scratches. It requires 4 AA Batteries (included). I can't figure out how to use to so I don't know if it works or not. There is a high chance of it working. You can buy an adaptor that makes it a slave flash for about five pounds.
