Agfa always tried to be present in every segment of the market, except for the top end of each segment. The Parat series was their answer to the half-frame market that enjoyed a some success in the 60's. However, they didn't seem sold to rhe concept like some Japanese competitors and their Parat series weren't particularly exciting in their design, technical specifications or lenses (triplets). Perhaps this lack of faith was the reason for the indifference of buyers towards the Parat cameras, they never sold well and were not replaced.
I don't really like half-frame cameras, this one is too big and looks too grown up in design terms. The only originality is the shutter speed and aperture adjustment in front part of the lens assembly and you only get 4 speeds to play with. The good news is that the lack of any sort of automation means that most of them still work, as it's a fully mechanical camera.

Another variation of the Praktica L theme. This is pretty much as the MTL 3, but lacks a self-timer. By this time, Praktica was already developing the B series models that were supposed to bring the brand up with the Japanese. This Super TL 1000 is really like any low model of the L series Praktica, stopped down metering, M42 screw mount, very loud and clear camera. Still, the fact remains that 40 years after its build, it works flawlessly, doesn't need batteries to operate and looks wise, it has stood the test of time quite well.
