Pro-black model of this super popular early 1970s SLR.
This is a fully working model (brassing and all) that is a joy to use and hold.

Long ago, I bought an Exakta 66 medium format camera. This was the camera purchase I regretted the most, because my Exakta 66 was woefully unreliable. Its shutter and film transport regularly broke down.
However, the, Exakta 66, which really was a Pentacon Six with a more modern look and a rubber coating, came with a Schneider Kreuznach Xenotar 80 lens. An excellent lens, on par with or exceeding the Carl Zeiss Planar 80 for Rollei or Hasselblad medium format cameras, at least in my humble opinion.
I always wanted to be able to use that lens, but I had come to hate the Exakta 66. So finally, 32 years after the Exakta 66, I got a Pentacon Six in goood condition, one that had recently been serviced. It was that or a Kiev 60, another Pentacon Six Clone. I certainly will treat it very carefully; hopefully it will work well.
Mine has a waist level finder, which is what I wanted. Medium format photography with a prism eye level finder is, to me, just ... weird.
Shot with:
Canon EOS600D
Leica Bellows R (16860)
Leica 100mm f/4 Macro Elmar-R, bellows version (11230)
CSX ET44AH 3412 serves DPU duty on the rear on Q032-07 as it passes the westbound absolute signal at CP TL. May 8, 2019
This side seems to be worse than the other. I think this must be an earlyish model with the metal 'Renault' badging on the bootlid (different to the green 12).

Моя среднеформатная фотокамера Pentacon six TL с объективом Вега-12Б. Вторая в моей коллекции фотокамер. Приобретена на интернет-аукционе в России за 75$. Камера и объектив оказались неисправны. Фотокамеру отправил на ремонт в Украину, известному мастеру Вячеславу Витальевичу (fotoremontnik.ru). Мастер заменил шторки затвора, почистил механизм выдержек, установил отсутствующие детали. Работа была сделана на высшем уровне. Я благодарен мастеру вернувшему фотокамеру к жизни.
Объектив имел неисправность заключавшуюся в залипании пластин диафрагмы. Мне удалось отремонтировать объектив самостоятельно, пользуясь видеинструкциями на youtube.
На этот момент я отснял один рулон Ilford delta 100. Не совсем удачно. Снимал без фотоэкспонометра. Однако мое желание снимать на средний формат лишь только возросло.

There are large variety of Carl Zeiss Jena and Schneider lenses for the Pentacon six. Also, a large variety of viewing screens, from simple matte to grids or fresnel lens microprism screens, are available. The waist-level finder can be replaced by non-metered or metered prism finders. The metered prisms were introduced in 1968; from this point onwards, the camera was called Pentacon six TL. Nothing had changed in the camera itself; the only thing new was the availability of a metered prism allowing TTL metering.
Praktisix is the predecessor of the Pentacon Six of the same bayonet mount. Arsenal Kiev 60 is also with Pentacon six mount.
But there is no relationship between the Praktisix/Pentacon Six and the Kiev6C/60. They share a common lens mount and film size but they are in no way the same and the Kiev is not the same mechanically.
Six major models were produced. The Praktisix 1957, Praktisix II 1964, Praktisix IIA 1966 Pentacon six 1966, Pentacon Six TL (early version) 1968, and Pentacon Six TL (late version).
These cameras are a series of improvements from the first Praktisix. But, other than the name changes there are minor changes from model to model, and the bodies are the same in general appearance.
The most common problems with all of these cameras:
1. Never allow the film advance lever to snap back after winding the film. This has been the cause of breaking more of these cameras than every other problem combined.
2. Never release the self-timer when the camera is not cocked, again a common way to break the camera.
The original manufacturer of these cameras was Kamera Werkstätten in 1959 they became V E B Kamera and KinoWerke Dresden,in 1964 they became VEB Pentacon and finally in 1970 Kombinat VEB Pentacon.
VEB (Volkseigner Betrieb) roughly translates as "People owned Industry". Initially the cameras and accessories had a stylized "KW in a diamond" logo and later the "Pentacon tower" logo.

This lovely little Bedford TL tanker registered EV 553 was photographed at a petrol station on the outskirts of Larnaca, Cyprus on June 5th 2018. I included the sign as in years to come I'm sure people will look and say "HOW CHEAP".
My first venture into medium format was with PSix and it's a camera I still love, or perhaps more accurately: I love the MC Biometar 2.8/80 lens. Which is spectacular. I took a lot of portraits with this lens, much less so with the other one pictured, which was a 180mm Sonnar, which was very underwhelming: low contrast and slightly dull.

a bedford tl lorry in the scrapyard as many old Bedford lorries in there it has lost it's rear axle a shame as it does not look that bad. but looks do not count that much if nobody wants the vehicle I guess it will end up the way all the others do.
