Yes, German company. I seem to remember a connection with Swiss "Alpha", but I'm not shure. Perhaps realated to DDR kameras from the Dresden manufacturers, Pentacon, Ihagee, Zeiss Ikon etc Anyway, look: http://www.praktica-collector.de/134_Porst_reflex_FX2.htm http://www.praktica-collector.de/162_Porst_FX4.htm

To the best of my knowledge they never had manufacturing capability, rather they sold OEM-ed stuff under their own name. Most likely different OEMs as well. Around here (the Netherlands) the Porst stuff does not fetch any real money at used-camera markets. For what that means.. Wilko
