Restoring the Praktica MTL 5B – Custom Brown Leatherette Makeover!

In this video, I fully restore a classic Praktica MTL 5B 35mm SLR camera. Alongside renewing the light seals to bring it back into shooting condition, I give it a fresh and unique look by replacing the old covering with a custom-cut brown leatherette. Watch as this vintage East German camera gets a second life—inside and out. Perfect for camera restoration fans, analog photography lovers, and anyone curious about DIY camera makeovers.
