I want to use my 75mm f/1.5 Biotar more! But unfortunately... I'm a Pentaxian and I can only use the Biotar for close-up shots because of its Exakta mount. That's very limiting. I really don't want to modify its infinity setting. It's a long shot, but if there's someone out there interested in swapping his/her M42-mount 75mm Biotar for my near mint (i.e. almost indistinguishable from new with original caps) Biotar with Exakta mount...? I expect one in a similar condition or a copy with some more marks (+ money).
I'll probably just sell it and buy a M42 version afterwards...

I don't think US$750 is out of line for a lens this nice. I have checked eBay for recent prices but almost all of them are really in a used shape (not that this is a bad thing for an user lens). My Biotar is easily in mint minus condition, has smooth focusing and a perfectly working diaphragm.

Retracted! I got a PM from a forum member and based on that decided to remove the focusing ring, and modify the infinity setting. I can now focus to up to 3 metres instead of 1.2.

Indeed - this is in the right range for me (portraits and torso shots).

I'm in a bit of a rush at the moment, but member LuisAlegria made a post on how to create an adapter for Exakta to K on the Biotar out of an old Exakta rear lens cap. I used one successfully until I did eventually buy an M42. It was posted somewhere in mflenses...
