Is a 35mm SLR camera released by Praktica in 1989 it was a continuation of the B series of Praktica cameras. It is very similar to the B100 with cosmetic changes and an in viewfinder LED shutter speed indication, in favour of the B100 match needle. The BCA used aperture priority and automatic shutter speed selection. The aperture is visible in the viewfinder via a small window seen above the lens. There is minimal ability to manually select shutter speeds other than for flash use (1/60th) and bulb mode. Over/under exposure of +/- 2 is available.
