I have 2 Russian Praktisix bodies and 2 lenses--80 mm and 180mm--plus extra viewfinder prisms and cases. also have a Canon F1 body I would like to offer trade for Nikon 16-35 f4 or nikon 14-24 f 2.8. The canon does not seem to work although I've never tested as it needs a battery or battery holder upgrade. Cosmetically has usual brassing along edges but otherwise ok; prakti's both work and are in 90+ cosmetic condition. One is from Russian-occupied germany. Comes with instructions for loading 120 roll film to prevent overlapping of each exposure.
Any interest? email me privately.
Without knowing the camera models and having not seen photos, my first impression is that you are aiming way too high on your trade wishes.

Never heard of Prakti, unless you're talking about Praktica? Those were not Russian!
Still think you are aiming too high.

I have one of each russian praktisix and german pentacon six. Both use 120 or 220 roll film; Zeiss Jena standard 80 mm lenses.
Both are German, not Russian. Which models do you have, and please describe the lenses exactly. And post some clearly detailed pictures of everything!
thanks for interest; will post all; the praktisix you will see has the Russian emblem on crown of viewfinder.
