I've got a BCA and a BC1
BC1 has a probleme of shutter, sometimes it doesn't work
It seems it is a common probleme on Prakticas, you should test it a lot before using the camera
I think i will buy a Adaptall adapter for B-mount or/and a M42 adapter
50 and 135mm are good lenses
I also have the 70 200 prakticar but it is too dark

Praktica BC-1 is the most versatile one among PRAKTICA PB cameras,
almost same as the first Praktica B200 but newer.
The most of Prakticas have electrical problems due to "aging",
mechanically no so bad relatively speaking. Take care of it.

I've had two BC1s - the first which I bought new in early 1986 was the same as the one in your pic and the second from 1988 or thereabouts had a plastic film rewind crank and a few other little detail changes with regard to the exposure compensation.
As for problems, my first body was fine up until I got the motor wind for it whereupon the shutter jammed and would no longer fire.
The only problems that I've had with the second body (I didn't use the motorwind on it...) were that the plastic film rewind crank broke off (I replaced it with the metal one off the body with the jammed shutter) and the painted on exposure compensation scale wore off.
Other than the above, this second body served me well right up until 2006 when I retired it and although I don't use it now, it does still work as it should. |

I never used the motorwind again after my first BC-1 jammed on me.
The BC-1 uses one PX28 6v battery which is still available in either alkaline or silver oxide versions or you can use 4 x LR44 if that is what you are referring to by "battery pack". |

bob955i,
Certainly the B-series can take silver, alkaline and lithium batteries, and the former two are indeed four 1.5V button cells stacked in a common casing, the casing itself is actually slightly longer than the combined height making the use of four separate cells not able to reach the terminals unless using some sort of a spacer.
These are two pages on rebuilding such batteries:
http://www.geocities.jp/pxm0/pentax_es.htm
http://www.geocities.jp/pxm0/4lr44.htm
In fact I had done something similar, prising open batteries at the seams and then replace the cells inside. Some brands work better than the others, the best for rebuilding is Duracell. |

i know it 4 1,5V btrs, but in our country is easier to buy 1,5 than 6V (this one size) . you can buy this kind of btrs only in shop with photo accesories and especialy in our city we have only 2. and its easier recharge it than 6V

why built a battery pack for BC1 if you do not use the winder ?
the battery for exposure and shutter last for years without problem
When i used my BCA i just replaced it once in 10 years !
I also use a winder, if you do not shoot as a paparrazzi it is really pleasant
