I bought an old Praktica MTL-3 and I'm gonna see what's inside/how it works. It's a 40 years old 35mm film camera manufactured in Germany and it came with "Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm F2.8 Tessar" lens.

Concept of this video was inspired by channel JerryRigEverything, but instead of opening new phones I disassembled an old camera. Second person who motivated me to do this video, was also Lew Later from Unbox Therapy as his excitement for technology brings happiness to the world.
