I've finally received a lot I purchased from Florida -
CZJ Biotar 75/1.5
CZJ Triotar 135/4
CZJ Tessar 40/4.5
CZJ Tessar 50/3.5
And -
Meyer Telemegor 400/5.5 Alu (not shown)
Ludwig Meritar 50/2.9
All in Exakta mount.
I paid $200 for the lot, with the understanding that they were not in the best condition.
All are quite filthy, but it doesn't seem like there is any fungus, which is a bit of a surprise seeing as they came from Florida.
The Biotar looks like it just needs a cleaning, but I will probably need to dismantle it to do so. There is a small ding on the filter ring, but thats easy to fix. The Tessar 3.5 and the Ludwig are in similar condition. Any suggestions on lens cleaning would be very welcome.
The very interesting Tessar 40/4.5 is in the worst shape as there is some awful looking encrusted dirt on the front element, I hope I can clean that, and a bad dent on the filter ring.
That, the Telemegor and the Triotar also have stuck helicals, as well as being dirty.
I do have Exaktas, but if I can't figure out some sort of mount for my Pentax I expect I will sell them.

Any suggestions on lens cleaning would be very welcome.
