@ Carsten: I have - it's the standard lens for the Exakta 66 rubber covered amongst other things, update of the Pentacon Six.

There was a nice range of yummy Schneider-Kreuznach lenses produced for it as well.

Thanks Bob! Seems this is a valuable lens on right price.

@ Attila: According to TRA (the guy behind the P6 site) the differences in IQ between the P6 MC Biometar 80 and the E66 version are essentially negligible.

Because of that, IMO the E66 Biometar on Ebay would only be of interest to an owner of the Exakta 66 and since their camera body would most likely have came with the same lens, other than to replace a damaged copy, there wouldn't be any real advantage in having yet another copy of it.

Maybe that's why it hasn't sold?
