Unknown to many, this is really a medium format lens. The back of the lens can be unscrewed and a Pentacon adapter can be fitted in place of the m42 mount. I guess that this is the reason that the lens is so well corrected. When used for 35mm film only the best part of the lenses 60mm image circe is used.
I found the lens to be quite sharp and contrasty.
I realy liked the preset aparture lock. It works perfectly together with manual aparture control for digital cameras.
A good lens.
Where you get the idea that it can mounted to Pentacon Six? Dreaming?

It is mentioned that its mount is M42/Exakta. Does it mean that it comes in both mounts or there is M42 adapter on Exakta mount?
Thanks
Ash, it has interchangeable mount in two variants M42 and Exakta. You can found lenses with any of them.
Just buyed this beautiful lens! Feels a good piece of glass!
The previous post shows an Ebay list of a 135 Orestor/200 Orestegor Exakta removable mount. These 135/200 are both 35mm lenses, and their removable mounts aren’t P6 adapters even if they look similar to the 300/500 P6-Exakta/P6-M42 original adapters.
