Dear Users of this Forum,

I own 3 Praktica's with a bajonet catch. The B-200 has a shutter problem. With the standard (Practicar f50) lens, the shutter only opens from B to 1/30, the rest of the shutter times the shutter doesn't let any light pass through it.
When I use another lense like a Cosina Macro, the shutter seems to work on the other shutter times random. (Sometimes light gets trough, other times not) A friend of mine told me that this is a common problem with Praktica's getting older.

The lenses work proper and normally on the other camera's. The B-200 is fitted with a new 6V Varta battery. Does anyone know what to do?
