Praktica's 1990s Sport-series compact — fixed-focus 28mm lens, DX coding, motor wind, two AA batteries.

The Praktica SP301 was a simple 35mm compact in the Praktica Sport series of the 1990s, the budget point-and-shoot line sold under the former East German marque after SLR production wound down. It was a common high-street and catalogue camera in the UK and still turns up in large numbers on the used market.

It uses a fixed-focus 28mm lens — wider than most rivals in its class — with fully automatic exposure, DX coding that reads 100 or 400 ASA films, and a built-in flash with a manual override button. Film loading, advance and rewind are motorised, and power comes from two AA batteries. A ring around the lens rotates to uncover the light sensor and unlock the shutter, doubling as the lens cover.

The wide 28mm lens makes it more interesting for street and casual landscape snaps than typical fixed-focus compacts, keeping most of the scene from about 1-3m acceptably sharp in good light. Reviewers note it struggles in dim light below roughly EV12 and that flash exposure is inconsistent between 200 and 400 speed films, so it rewards bright-day use.

The SP301 is battery-dependent, so confirm it powers up, winds and fires on fresh AA cells and that the flash charges within a reasonable time. Check the sliding sensor ring operates freely, the battery contacts are corrosion-free, and the film door closes light-tight; at typical prices, buy working examples rather than repair candidates.
