Item Description
Some of you may be familiar with my use of this lens from this thread - Zeiss Jena 75 1,5 Biotar M42

I have a Zeiss Jena 75/1.5 Biotar short tele with a custom made K to Exakta mount attached. This mount is securely locked on the lens so it can be attached and removed like any native K-mount lens. The adapter can be removed to restore the lens to Exakta mount if necessary.

Because Biotars come with a little room to move in the focus helical, I've adjusted the focus throw back allowing this lens to focus at inifinity on the Pentax. It does focus slightly past infinity, this is due to the fact there are locking grooves in the helical, so precise adjustment is not possible - but this is the only way you can have this lens function as it should on a Pentax. This is a relatively simple proceedure which can also be undone, should the owner ever wish to return the lens to original Exakta mount.

The lens, in excellent condition -

See the above link for sample images.

I wish to trade this lens for one in M42 mount as I now use a Sony camera and have an M42 to A-mount on the way. If a serious buyer and a satisfactory M42 version becomes available, I'll sell. This might take a while, if I can ask your patience.

Caveat - I will keep the lens cap pictured for my continued use if I am not lucky enough to receive one in the transition.

Thanks all!


Kelly.
