Just bought a Pentacon six slr medium format camera with the P6 bayonet mount. Previously owned a Kiev 6C, clunkier but left handed. Like me. The Pentacon is the East German answer to Quality MF camera. The lens I have are Carl Zeiss Jenna. Extremely good optics. When I finish rebuilding my darkroom I'll post some photos.

My first Pentacon Six was very good. I foolishly sold it, later bought two more, which both had frame spacing problems even after CLA. The technician told me the frame spacing cannot really be adjusted on this camera.

So now I'm back where you were, using a Kiev 6C.
