The story
Praktica cameras came from Dresden, a centre of German camera making. The Super TL2 was a solid, affordable SLR used by students and enthusiasts across Europe.
The restoration
We turned the camera into a working table lamp, with the light fitting mounted in the lens. The camera body keeps its original look and signs of use.
In your interior
On a desk, bookshelf or bedside table, it is a small light with a big conversation value, and a fitting gift for photographers and collectors.
