Chronology of cameras Pentacon Gmbh
VEB Pentacon disappeared in 1990, together with the factory in Dresden. The Pentacon brand (Pentacon Gmbh) was reborn from 1997, focusing on advanced technologies. Cameras were sold under the Praktica brand with the support of the Schneider optical group, of which Pentacon Gmbh is a part. It is difficult to say whether these are original fabrications or affixing the brand to Asian fabrications. Some models sometimes carry the historic Pentacon logo, with the word Germany added, these are cameras sold (or manufactured?) by Pentacon Gmbh.
Since 2015, the brand has been owned by an English group, which evokes the heritage of the prestigious past, even in the absence of the slightest filiation. Cameras manufactured by this owner are digital.

Unfortunately, if you placed your order before December 2015 your warranty is no longer valid. Your product was manufactured by the previous owners of PRAKTICA and they have seized production.
The Praktica Sport series appeared in 1991 (less than two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall) while the state-owned enterprise (VEB) Pentacon had disappeared. It included autofocus cameras roughly in line with their time, like the Sport Nova, and very basic cameras like this Sport QT=One. They all have a very Asian appearance. Manufacturing therefore has nothing to do with Dresden anymore.
