I picked up a couple of old lenses, but have not idea what camera they fit. Any info is appreciated.

1. Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 5.8cm T F2

2. P. Angenieux Paris, 28mm F3.5 Retrofocus Type R11

Exakta mount. Lots of companies made lenses in this mount and many gave excellent results.
Here's some more information.

Thanks! I did see an Exakta camera a few weeks ago at another sale, but didn't pick it up, knowing nothing about them.

Those Angenieux lenses are highly sought after. The 58mm Biotar is also an outstanding lens. Lucky find!
