Praktica M60, some more from the 2nd film

I used a 200 film with the Praktica M60.

 

The Praktica M60 is compact camera that takes good pictures in bright sunlight, or with flash. It needs no focusing.

Here are some more samples from the 2nd film

Practica M60, 2nd film

I had another film in the Praktica M60. The camera has a wide angle lens of 26mm and is very simple to use, just aim and press the shutter.
There is only one shutter speed and one aperture - it can have an extra slow speed in the night portrait mode only. It takes good pictures in sunshine and with the flash.

Here are some samples:

 I used the forced flash option for the next two pictures

 

Praktica M60, some more

The Praktica M60 is a very simple camera that takes good pictures in daylight.

Here are some more samples from a 100 ASA film expired in 2004

 This is taken with the night setting (shutter at 1/4 sec)

 I used the flash here for fill-in

Praktica M60, wide simple and good

The Praktica M60 is a simple point-and-shoot camera with a wide lens

The body is very compact and has a fixed wide angle 28mm length lens made of glass. There is only one aperture, f8 I believe. Shutter speed is fixed at 1/80th sec. If the night mode is selected from the top display the shutter can go to as low as 1/4th sec that makes difficult to hand hold the camera. Other options on the display are Auto Flash, red-eye, no flash, forced flash and self timer with flash on. The wide angle lens needs no focussing for objects more than 1 meter far.

The camera takes very sharp pictures at daylight with some vignetting. With the low shutter it is difficult not to shake the camera.

I loaded the camera with a 100 ASA film that expired in 2004. It seems that the lens is not sharp at infinity. For distances 1 to 10 meters all objects are sharp. However the colors are very bright and saturated.  Here are some samples:

I used the forced flash setting for fill-in

 

 

 

 

 Background at infinity is not very clear

I used the night setting for the previous one - I see no difference...
