Films for the Praktica DTL 3

The Praktica DTL 3 exposes 35mm film. These are still easy to get today and development services are still around. A good choice for color and black-and-white pictures is the Kodak Ultramax 400* and the Ilford HP5*.

The color film is a negative film and is processed in the C-41 development process. This development process is offered by most laboratories.

The exposure area of the Praktica DTL 3 is 24 mm x 36 mm big. With this exposure area, normally, a 35mm film (135-36) will fit at least 36 photos.

A tripod can be attached to the Praktica DTL 3. A cable release can also be used with the camera. In addition, the self-timer can be used to take pictures. The power supply is provided by one VARTA V21 PX battery.
