The LTL SLR series was introduced in 1972. More usable than collectable, most well used LTL's will probably be on their last legs by now. The LTL series was not as robust as the earlier Novas and mechanically they ore often outlived by their predecessors. This LTL3 is very little used and was donated by Mr. M. Machin in 1993. Despite little use the light meter died, this appears to be a common fault with these cameras. After this the metal vertical focal plane shutter will probably give up the ghost which is another fairly common occurrence with members of the LTL series. In keeping with every Praktica I have ever heard, the shutter mechanism is wondrously noisy, with a noticeable inertia jolt as the blinds close.
