It is a famous brand owned by Carl Zeiss. PRAKTICA is the first and most authoritative optical factory in Germany with a long history. It has been nearly 70 years since 1936 was founded. It is a super optical factory for telescopes, professional cameras, 135 cameras and digital cameras! History: 1945. Kappa cooperates with Zeiss in Germany to produce small cameras. The factory is located in Dresden, the third largest city in Germany. PENTACON lens, Schneider Schneider lens and B+W lens produced in Kappa, Germany are all loved by photographers all over the world. After World War II, Germany was divided into East Germany and West Germany. Zeiss IKON AG, originally located in Dresden, is also divided into two companies: Zeiss in East Germany and Zeiss in West Germany. Zeiss in East Germany continued to stay in Dresden, and the first generation of pentaprism head-up monocular camera Contax S was invented by Zeiss factory in East Germany 1948. It also mixed with CONTAX/PENTACON for a long time, and some names such as CONSEL/HEXACON appeared. Later, other machines appeared, such as PRAKTINA/PENTINA/PORST REFLEK and PRAKTIFLEX, who was about 47 years old. PRAKTICA's name first appeared in 1949, a 35mm camera looking down. Then Zeiss in East Germany derived many camera series with M42 interface, and 1989 produced many machines with different shapes. Coupled with a large number of Zeiss lenses, M42 Luokou has become the standard interface of Unified World 135 monocular for a long time, and many brands of cameras have followed suit. PRAKTICA is a camera brand owned by Zeiss in East Germany. During the Cold War, cameras from Warsaw Pact countries had to pay double tariffs to enter the United States and other markets, which led to the situation that Japanese cameras almost monopolized the American market (Japan did not have such restrictions on tariffs). Later, the weakening of the US dollar and the rise of the Japanese yen made PRAKTICA see the light of day again, and it expanded rapidly all over the world, but it was rarely seen in the domestic market. German cameras German cameras have a long history. During World War II, Norman landings were filmed with German cameras. During the war, Barton and Rommel wore German cameras around their necks. The Soviet Red Army who conquered Berlin smashed walnuts with leather German cameras. Perhaps it is the glorious history of German cameras that makes them still respected today when Japanese cameras are in power. The history 1920 of Kappa PRAKTICA Pentacon GmbH was established, and then two brands, PRAKTICA and EXAKTA, were successively launched, mainly producing high-quality precision optical instruments. Due to the continuous development and production of Pentacon, it has made great progress in optical technology, so it is proud to share these valuable experiences with many well-known manufacturers. 1945 began to cooperate with Zeiss in Germany to produce small cameras.
