Praktica TL 5B

A friend is looking to sell this...




Leather case looks to be in good condition too and there's at least one other lens for it. Not sure if she's sent me 3 different pictures of the same lens or if there's more than 1 extra lens. There's a Topcon flash too but doubt that's of much interest or value these days. 

The extra lens says Carl Zeiss Jena DDR round the front element and I think the numbers mean it's a 135mm f3.5.

Any interest here or should I just advise her to send them to a second hand camera dealer to see what they'll give her for them?

These don't hold much cash value, check out the sold listings on Ebay. Perhaps donate it to a charity for what little a dealer is likely to offer.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if there was anything interesting or desirable there. Hardly seems worth the postage!

The 135mm Zeiss M42 was a good lens in its time, later versions have sold for £30 to £50 on ebay in the last month.
