questions on the Pentacon 35mm Praktica FX3 Camera?

so i have a nikon 5000, but im a HUGE fan of the 60s and old stuff. anything vintage, and even in music, (love the beatles) and well i have a diana F+ as well and i want a new camera. its a good price on ebay and i might get it. but i want to know all about it first.

well about the film, where can i get it and what is it?
how much would the film be?
when i get it developed, is there an easier way? like getting my own copier?
so i can print the pictures myself? and how much as that
and ect, anything else i should know about it?

I haven’t handled one of these cameras myself, so I can’t give you first hand information. From what I can see on the internet, it’s an interesting camera.

I found a link for the camera manual here:

It uses 35mm film, which is easily found in most drugstores, and can be ordered very cheaply online from places like BH Photo Video or Freestyle Photo Supply:

Cost will depend on what brand and how many exposures.

I get my 35mm film processed, no prints and scanned to CD for about $7 US for a 36 exposure roll at my local Walgreens drugstore.

I don’t have any how to videos for the Praktica, but for videos for lo-fi cameras like Diana or Holga, visit my youtube channel:
