Thanks Rachel for sharing this! Yes... many of them are out-of-order already. But yours, the lens seems pretty good... may you consider to add an adapter for other camperas. Hi ewu, Yes, the lens is fine. The only adaptor I have to use Exakta lenses on other cameras is one to use on Canon FD cameras. I could use the Tessar on my Panasonic G1 (micro four thirds) as I have a Canon FD adaptor for that. I also see that an adaptor is available to use Exakta lenses on Canon EOS cameras (I have a 5D) so that's another possibility.

Rachel, For the EOS system I use a combined Exakta/Topcon adapter which also preserves the Topcon diaphragm mechanism properly. Works like a charm!
