Really pleased with the Praktica VL2. The camera was in excellent condition and I was pleased the attach lens was capable of allowing through-the-lens metering. Postage from Hard to find camera to the Uk took just 2 days so I was surprised that it took 12 days to get through the UK sorting office to me. That’s not HTFC’s fault. I highly recommend purchasing your cameras through them and will be eager to see what else they have I might like. Many thanks HTFC.
