Thank you.
M39 to M42 adapter held down by a rubber "O" ring . M42 to Sony Alpha adapter . I have not explored into adjusting for infinity yet . I like it like this for now.

I don't know either.
But I wonder wether the P6 has the same optical design as the Volna-3. I guess yes.
When looking the Volna-3 compared to this one, if volna-3 is the same as the P6 Tessar, I don't think they are the same.
As far as this one is concerned, Kathmandu, it gives good pictures. _________________ Olivier - Moderator

HI guys,
This is indeed a fun lens. Great pics as always, Kathmandu.
I have a similar lens. If yours is the same model as mine, it isn't the same as the P6 version lens (for Pratisix or Pentacon 6 cameras), but it does have some hidden secrets.
The first few pics here show you what my version of the lens looks like. If you have the same version as I do, if you remove the three small grub screws which release the 35mm Exakta mount, you will find - another odd 3-lobed mount hidden below. I believe this mount was for the old post war Exakta 66 - see the pic of the '66 from Ivor Mantanle's Collecting and Using Classic SLRs His two books are incredible by the way!!!!
You never know what you are going to find in these old lenses! Apparently very few of the Exacta66's were sold between launch in '54 and final demise around '62, so maybe a bunch of the normals - the bayonet-mount 80mm f/2.8 Tessar with spring-loaded pre-set diaphragm were refitted with 35mm Exakta mounts!!!!
This was not that unusal for the East Germans. The 180mm f/2.8 Sonnar, for example, when supplied for the Praktisix or Pentacon 6 (P6 mount), is in fact an adapted Exakta-mount lens. The P6 mount clicks off revealing a standard Exakta mount below. Now, why VEB Pentacon would supply a lens with the mount for another manufacturer's (Ihagee's Exakta) camera is wierd. Although, they were both East German. See p225 in Ivor's book for more details. One of those details is that the 80 f/2.8 Tessar made for the original Praktisix/Pentacon 6 is "better than the Meyer 80mm f/3.5 Primotar, but less than brilliant." Ivor's words.
Enjoy shooting with this classic!

Wowz! I just opened mine. How in god's name did you figure that out. Thank you so much. Now I can start looking for an Exakta 66 to M42 mount, and "everythings gonna be alright". Amazing what you can find out at Mflenses.
I read that P6, Kiev 60 and the Exakta66 share the same Practsix mount-so better chance for an adapter.

I think I originally discovered the mount while trying to clean the rear element! I learn something new on here everyday. I just ordered some M39-M42 adapters so i can try your o-ring trick to see if I can mount some of my normal Exakta lenses to the 5D Mii without interfering with the mirror. _________________ Canon 5D Mii, Canon 40D, Canon 350D IR, Sony A7 Mii, Sony Alpha-6000, a ton of lenses: AF & MF and too many cameras to count, all formats: 110 - 4x5. |

The "O" ring I use is from Raymarine plastic thru-hull Transducer Stems-it seems to fit snugly yet allows for the M42 thread to catch on to the mount. _________________ kathmandu

Definitely worth a try. The Tessar I have has the Exakta 66 mount which is quite a bit smaller than the P6 mount, however. Also, I'm not sure the back focus for Exacta 66 and P6 are the same. _________________ Canon 5D Mii, Canon 40D, Canon 350D IR, Sony A7 Mii, Sony Alpha-6000, a ton of lenses: AF & MF and too many cameras to count, all formats: 110 - 4x5. |
