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Unfortunately, if you placed your order before December 2015 your warranty is no longer valid.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 801 AF is a compact camera that meets market standards. A few significant extras set it apart from the competition, such as the self-timer which can be set to 2 or 10 seconds. Notable and also rare in this category, there is the pose B which is obtained by holding the shutter button down for up to 60 seconds.
The flash is programmable, automatic, forced or disabled.
