Praktica's budget Sport-series 35mm compact — fixed-focus 35mm lens, motor wind, built-in flash, two AA batteries.

The Praktica AP310 was a basic 35mm point-and-shoot compact sold under the Praktica badge in the 1990s, after the East German marque had shifted from Dresden-built SLRs to far-eastern-made consumer compacts. It belonged to the budget Sport series and is often labelled Praktica Sport AP310, sitting at the entry level of the range below the brand's autofocus and zoom compacts.

It carried a fixed-focus 35mm lens behind a fixed single-speed shutter, so there were no focus or exposure controls to set. Film advance was automatic via a built-in motor, and a built-in flash with its own on/off switch handled indoor shots. Film speeds of ISO 100-200 were recommended, power came from two AA batteries, and the body weighed around 190g with a deliberately large viewfinder.

This is a snapshot camera in the plainest sense: aim it in good light, keep subjects a few metres away, and it delivers usable prints. It suits beginners and students trying 35mm film with no budget, or anyone wanting a carefree camera for parties and holidays. The fixed-focus lens limits close-up and low-light work, and results are soft compared with glass from named-lens compacts.

Examples are plentiful and cheap on the used market. Check the motor wind advances and rewinds properly on two fresh AA cells, that the flash charges and fires from its switch, and that the film-door closes tight with intact light seals. The all-plastic construction marks easily, so inspect the lens window for scratches; there is little else to fail, which is part of the appeal.
