Praktica's upper B-bayonet SLR — the B200, aperture-priority auto, LED finder, electronic, 1979.

The Praktica B200 is a 35mm film SLR made by VEB Pentacon in Dresden, East Germany, introduced in 1979 as the higher-specified launch model of the new Praktica B bayonet system. It sat above the simpler B100, offering a more complete feature set as Praktica moved from the M42 screw mount to its modern electronic bayonet cameras.

It is a Praktica B bayonet SLR with an electronically controlled vertical-travel metal focal-plane shutter. The B200 provides aperture-priority automatic exposure with through-the-lens open-aperture metering, plus manual operation, and displays exposure information via an LED readout in the pentaprism finder. As an electronically timed camera it relies on its battery to fire and expose correctly.

The B200 suits students, general users and enthusiasts wanting an auto-exposure SLR with a clearer LED finder display and the convenience of the B bayonet. It handles more smoothly than the older stop-down M42 bodies, with open-aperture metering and aperture-priority auto; the trade-offs are lighter construction than the earlier all-metal Prakticas and a narrower, less universal lens range than M42.

On the used market, treat this as an electronic body: test it with a fresh battery across auto and manual, since a flat or failing cell can stop it firing or expose incorrectly. Check the LED finder display works, inspect foam light seals and mirror-damper foam for perishing, and confirm the meter and aperture-priority auto respond sensibly. Look at the prism for desilvering, verify the bayonet contacts are clean, and test advance, rewind and screen condition.
