Comes with a camera - but still reasonable pricing with short time to go:

That is nowhere near rare. It is the normal lens of the Pentacon Six - and given that most bodies have failed over the course of time, while most lenses survived, there is quite an abundance of them on ebay.

I can't see what the lens was, but if you say it was the standard P6 lens then it sounds like the Biometar 2.8/80.

If it was a Biometar and the copy on that Exakta had a fixed Exakta mount, then it is rare.

Actually it's a Tessar specifically made for the Exakta. I have not seen amny of them around.

I was following this auction also, but the Exakta to EOS adapter is super expensive to make this a viable purchase.

Yes, it's a Tessar with Exakta mount. It's also available in M42 mount, but pretty rare. I lost a number of listings on this lens. My communication with bidder who won, said lens is not sharp, which I think is expected. It's no 40mm or 50mm Tessars like those owned by Andy and Orio. Nonetheless, I am still looking for one Smile
