Exa 0 with unusual lens.

I got this camera on the auction site. It came up in my search feed of course because of the jsogon. My deep dive into this realm began some 10 years ago with an Exakta VX with an attached biotar I was told was a good alternative to the cheap Canon plastic lens that came on my EOS 60D. I have purchased several Exakta cameras since but never the baby brother Exa. It was offered as is, untested, minimum bid 80 dollars. I was the only bidder. It got here and it is in pefect functioning near mint condition. The lens is also in excellent condition, with just a tiny bit of haze. Finally an jsogon I can really try! I put a roll of Ilford 400 B & W through it yesterday PM and this AM. Taking it to be developed in just a bit.

Rare early wide angle, I had one years ago, it has a 4 element design, sadly the one i had had been eaten by fungus, not a retrofocus type, more like a simpler take on the Biogon/Angulon.
