I have Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar T 75/1.5 (exakta mount) in very good condition (any single sign of fungus or haze, all works smoothly, focusing helicoid and diaphragm cleaned and relubed by professional serviceman, alu body cleaned and polished also) for exchange.

I'd like to exchange this Biotar for some other lenses, I have one more (M42) copy, which is not in so good condition (esp. hlass), but I can use it on Sigma DSLR, so the better one is free now...

I'd like to exchange this lens for:

1. MC APO Telezenitar-M 135/2.8 (M42) + MG Trioplan V 100/2.8 (M42)

or

2. VOIGTLANDER ULTRON 40mm/f2 SL Aspherical (M42) + MG Trioplan V 100/2.8 (M42) (or V 58/1.9 M42)

or

3. MG Helioplan V 40/4.5 (M42) + MG Trioplan 100/2.8 (M42) + MG Primoplan V 58/1.9 (M42)

If anyone will be interested, I can prepare some pictures of the lens and more detailed description.

//edited: Primoplan -> Trioplan

Which variant?

I can give you only Trioplan 100mm + money or something else other lens(es)

I have Helioplan but I won't let it go. Primoplan 58mm should also ok for trade.

Helioplan, Ultron or APO Telezenitar are the most important lenses to me. I don't need money, I'd like to have one of these lenses Neutral

I have all those three MG lenses but unfortunately for you I also have an Exakta Biotar 75 .

Helioplans are rare but I saw 2 just after I bought mine this year.

I forgot to mention a slight ding on filter ring. It's possible, that the screw will not accept filters, but I can't test it, I haven't filters of appropriate diameter. The ding is located here (high-resolution picture is lower).

optical condition: Excellent, no scratches, any single sign of fungus or haze, a few dust particles (majority of "black dots" on pictures are Biotar air bubles - I have focused to slightly different distances to make it more obvious on pictures).

mechanical condition: All mechanic parts were cleaned and relubed by professional serviceman, who was skilled in Carl Zeiss Jena factory. Both rings works uniformly and smoothly.

cosmetical condition: Some slight scratches and light oxidation of ALU body, but the body was polished by the serviceman, so most of them have gone. As I mentioned, there is a ding on filter ring - it's possible the screw won't accept filters.

I have not proper test pictures, because I can't adapt the lens to my DSLR, so here is only one close-up picture at f/1.5 (hand-held in front of DSLR):
