Used Pentacon and Prakticar lenses
East German lenses from Pentacon in Dresden, made for Praktica SLRs. Most are in the universal M42 screw mount; the later Prakticar lenses use the Praktica PB bayonet. They are affordable, robust and loved for their character on both film and digital cameras.

Frequently asked questions
M42 or Praktica PB: which mount do I need?
The mount is named in each product title. M42 lenses fit Praktica L and earlier screw mount cameras and many other M42 bodies. PB lenses fit the Praktica B series, such as the BX20 and BC1.
Are Pentacon lenses good on digital cameras?
Yes. With an M42 or PB adapter they fit mirrorless cameras such as Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Canon RF. The 50mm f/1.8 and 135mm f/2.8 are popular choices for portraits.
