Heck, you can include Exa also. I'll start with one of my two VX IIb sets. The hardware and a couple pictures from last roll

I have Varex IIa, IIb, RTL 1000 and some EXAs. Did not shoot with the RTL 1000 and the EXAs yet, too many other interesting cameras to use. Here is the Varex IIb and some images I shot with it. The Domiplan is not a bad lens You can see more images in my AlbumHannes

On the subject of Exsakta wides; Some time ago I browsed the shelves of a second hand furniture merchant and found a sample of the worlds firstSLR wide; Angenieux retrofocus R1. Could not resist buying: it makes usable snaps. No auto-aperture mechanism so the mount looks different to the Flektogons.

Hannes, I also like the Flektogon, it is probably the best 35 lens I have used. And that row of Citröens is great.

When I tested the Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 2.8/180 with P6 mount on the Nikon D700 I used this Exakta RTL 1000 as model. The RTL 1000 is more or less a Praktica L with Exakta mount. It can take all old and new Exakta lenses and has new exchangeable finders which it shares with th ePraktica VLC series. It also benefits from the metal blade shutter of the Praktica.
Images shot with this camera will follow as soon as the roll is developed.

Here's what i've got Exakta wise. I don't use Exakta's anymore, now they are just in the collection out of nostalgia. My first "real" camera when i was 13 was an Exakta varex 2A It had a 50mm 1.9 lens but i can't remember wich make it was. It also had the extention tubes and together with my first steps in slr photography i was able to experiment with "macro" photography. Here's the only print i've got left, somebody else made this shot of me with the exakta, you might notice i was a "dedicated follower of fashion" and a fan of the Small Faces and the Kinks back then (well even now as well). Sorry if i strayed of the Exakta path a bit, but i became somewhat emotional thinking of all those memories triggered by an "old" camera.
