The camera, a Praktica CX-1, performed very well and surprised me with the color rendering and sharpness! I didn’t know this camera but when scrolling through the lists on a online market website I bought it. I liked the size of it and I like the brand Praktica! My first “real” camera, a SLR, was a Praktica B200 and I’m still very happy with that one!
On arriving I checked the camera, new batteries and a fresh Kodak film. Everything seems to work fine. So week 1 of this project52 was a learning week. I tried to free myself from the pressure to perform, make the best picture etc. I just took the Praktica CX-1 with me, on a walk, to work etc. and just look and click with a open mind. And I think it worked out.
I like this little Praktica CX-1 camera. It fits in your pocket. The lenscover protect the lens from dust. The settings for distance are easy and simple to do and there’s a warning LED light in the view finder for low light. For sure a keeper and I’m going to use it again (and again)!
Richard’s verdict: ★★★★★
