I sometimes use an Exakta V with a 3.5, preset Jena
Tessar. I have a few other old Exaktas and some nice lenses, including a
24mm auto Flektogon. The old shutter cloths have deteriorated with
the rubber flaking off [<(.
I can't find anybody who will work on these (Seymours, but that is a sad sack
company!)
