I bought an East German Pentacon Six in 1971 for £112 -00 and had some adapters made so I could use some lenses I had been given from a Camera Club friend -- the shutter went after a couple of years but I got it repaired by a ' Pentacon Six' expert with new blinds and all lubed and no trouble since -- i do not use it so much now as there is a strap lug missing and I am fearful of dropping it. THe slow flash synch spreed of 1/20th second limits it's use with flash. I can get 13 frames from a 120 and 27 frames from a 220!
