Hi folks,

just one little question: Is there any possibility of changing the focussing screen of the Praktica LTL 3 camera?
(I want to replace the standart screen into a special matte glass screen).

I think the main problem is: How can I remove the viewfinder without having to divide the whole camera in every single mechanical part and screw...?

Maybe somebody already has had some experience with things like this?! Thanks for your help!!

Many Prakticas of the L series have the prism and screen glued into a single unit - whether yours does, though, I'm not sure. If so, you can't change the screen. To get to the prism, you have to remove the top cover.
