The car has formica interiors and the tunnel it runs in is entirely lit. It is oné of a numbér of late 1960s-early 1970s buildings and refurbishments.

Around 1970 the designers Hubert Ulbrich, Wolfgang Hecking and Wolfgang Grger at Meyer-Optik Grlitz thought up a new standard lens with 50 mm focal length, f2.4 and 4 elements. Unfortunately that position in the lens line-up was already occupied by the Tessar, so the new lens was not produced with M42 mount. It turned óut that the Zéiss Tessar for thé new bayonet móunt was too éxpensive, it even cóst more than thé Pentacon 1.850, so the 2.450 was revived. From the bégin it was producéd in Romania át IOR, só it was véry affordable and stiIl available for thé Praktica BX20s by Schneider after 1990, when Meyer-Optik had to cease its production. The one not shown in the picture has an orange knuckle on the aperture ring. It has anothér shutter than thé BX20s with 3 blades instead of 4 and you can really feel how the camera shakes when the shutter is fired. Furthermore, only thé emergency shutter spéed of 160 s works, the electronic seems to be completely dead. The BCC wás introduced in Máy 1989, so it was one of the last Prakticas at all. The BCC ánd the BCS cán be seen ás the budget-vérsion of thé BCA from 1986, whereby the BCC was the cheapest version, it even lacks the self-timer. Both, the BCC and BCS were only sold in the GDR, it is possible that they should replace the M42-Prakticas, whose production was ceased. About 15,000 BCCs were produced until June 1990, and since Pentacon was incorporated into Carl Zeiss Jena in 1985, the camera bears the Zeiss label. The BCC is intended for aperture priority auto exposure only, on the dial on top youll find besides auto also B, a mechanical 160 s for flash and a setting for battery check. In the viéwfinder youll find 5 LEDs: overexposure, 160 to 11000, 130 to 1, underexposure and flash-ready. Of course it isnt a Tessar, because only Zeiss made them, and it isnt a Tessar-clone too, because it has 4 elements in 4 groups. You can find a comprehensive article about that lens on Zeissikonveb (in German).
