For a photo walk along the Rhône banks, Lyon, France, I took again my Praktica IV camera but equipped this time with a Helios-44M lens :2 f=58mm, the normal lens of my Zenit 122 camera.
With the Helios-44M-6 lens, the diaphragm is stopped down automatically to the selected aperture value by pressing the shutter release but there is no auto/manual selection possible from the lens. For all the views the lens was equipped with a yellow screw-on 52mm filter assuming a coefficient of x2. The lens was also equipped with generic modern cylindric shade hood.
The Praktica camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ and exposed for 200 ISO instead of 400 to compensate the yellow filter absorption. Expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The weather was relatively cloudy (13h30-16h30) giving typical exposures of 1/100s at f/8.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 6min.
The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printing framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.

About the camera :
I got the camera body Praktica IV and a set of related KDH Leipzig accessories from an eBay seller near Paris, France.. The whole arrived to me on January, 31, 2024, in Lyon, France.
The Praktica IV was designed by the prestigious KW (Kamera Werk Niedersedlitz) German company in Dresden on the basis of their previous Praktica FX SLR camera's. The camera was produced first under the KW name starting from June 1959 then within the Kombinat VEB Pentacon after the merge of the company in 1960.
166.800 Praktica IV and V (6 models) were produced until January 1966. Praktica IV essentially incorporates a condenser focusing screen plus a pentaprism. Due to the Praktica FX architecture the Pentaprism looks protruding from the camera body with an unusual style. It fits lenses with M42x1 mount and the mirror has no automatic return. The shutter is made of two horizontal curtains of rubberized fabric giving 1/500s to 1/2s plus B in two registers of slow speeds (1/2s to 1/10s) and high speeds (1/25s to 1/500s). The film is advanced coupled to the shutter cocking using either the right upper button or the rapid lever underneath the body.
The Praktica IV handles the "Auto" M42 lenses with the lever for automatic iris closing upon the release. Sequentially, when pressing the shutter release button, the diaphragm closes to the indicated value, the mirror is lift-off and finally the shutter is erased at the given value. If a non-auto (manual closing) M42 is used the pushing lever could be cancelled (declutched) moving a small red button to the right in the mirror chamber.
The camera camera came without lens but with a body cap and the original ever-ready leather bag with et "Ernermann tower" Pentacon logo. This model is likely the second Praktica IV essentially the same as the initial KW one with a different front plate. The camera was likely art of a collection and is completely preserved without use marks.
The KDH Leipzig (Kurt-Dieter Huffziger Foto- und Kinozubehör) accessories set included:
-A panoramic tripod head
-A set of three extension tubes M42x1)
- A big aluminum shade hood (screw-on 49mm) for wide-angle lens.
- A M42x1 metal body cap in its original box.
- An accessory shoe fitting the the Praktica IV eye piece.

About the lens :
The normal lens fitted on the camera using the M42 mount is the multi-coated version 6 of the Helios 44M manufactured at Юпитер, (Оптико-механический завод «Юпитер» , "Jupiter") Valday, Novgorod region. Helios-44 lens directly derived from the Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar lens 1:2 f=58mm.
It came with my Zenit-122 that was produced in 1994 by the Russian company KMZ (Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. Zenit-122 were also manufactured by BelOMO factory. From 1990 to 2005, about 2 millions of Zenit-122 were overall produced. The camera is built on the tough previous Zenit chassis and uses the same curtain Leica-type shutter with no slow speeds. The body is cased with ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styren) thermoplastic. Zenit-122 is equipped with a two CdS cells for light metering (25-400 ISO) using a LED indicator in the viewfinder.
