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.

Die TL Electro X ist eine Spiegelreflexkamera des japanischen Herstellers Yashica. Die Kamera wurde zwischen 1968 und 1974 hergestellt. Sie war die weltweit erste Spiegelreflexkamera mit einem vollelektronischen Belichtungsmesser. Zur Anzeige der Belichtung wurden statt der sonst üblichen Lichtwaage erstmals LEDs verwendet, welche im Sucher in Form von zwei Pfeilen jeweils Über- oder Unterbelichtung anzeigen. Es gab somit keine mechanisch beweglichen Bauteile mehr im Messsystem. Wie bei den meisten damals üblichen Kameras wird durch Betätigung des Abblendhebels die Belichtung bei Arbeitsblende gemessen und angezeigt.
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.

The TL class were originally built by Clyde Engineering Australia in 1952 and shipped to Hong Kong. 5 were built for a railway over there and they were a spitting image of a Victorian Railway's flat top T class but with a larger engine. When they were no longer needed, four (No. 52, 53, 54, 55) were put on sale and one (No. 51) was donated to a museum. The four put on sale were purchased by CFCLA and shipped to Australia for refurbishment and re-entered service in 2006 as the TL class. They kept their original numbers from when they were in service in Hong Kong but with a 1 added in front so that they would fit in the numbering scheme without changing their original number.

This is a classic Leyland Merryweather TL (GHW415) that served Bristol, at the Knowl Hill steam rally near Reading. It's a standard normal control (or conventional) Leyland. Bristol Fire Brigade also ran a double seat open Leyland engine plus a fully enclosed Leyland engine with four door limousine type body and possibly others.
In 1877 five of the six insurance companies in Bristol with fire brigades gave notice of their intention to discontinue their fire services and the Council recommended that a city fire brigade should be formed as part of the Police Force. It became part of the unified National Fire Service in 1941 and remained so until 1st April 1948, when it returned to local authority control. From this time it no longer formed part of the Police Force, but was re-established as a separate entity functioning under its own Committee and with its own Chief Officer. On the 1st April 1974 responsibility for the Bristol Fire Brigade Service was taken over by Avon County Council.
Knowl Hill Steam Rally was an internationally known event that was held every August. It was last held in 2004, after which it was discontinued due to increasing insurance premiums.
Knowl Hill is a village in the civil parish of Hurley in Berkshire, England. It is 5 miles (8 km) west of Maidenhead on the A4 road toward Reading.
On the south side of the A4 is Knowl Hill Common, a hill with a view toward Windsor Castle which can be seen on a clear day. Also on the south side is a small wood called The Clumps, the name being derived from two separate groups of trees that were once significantly taller than the rest and clumped in the middle.
