I am grateful to the authors and publisher for permission to provide here copies of some superb articles on the Praktisix, Pentacon Six and Exakta 66 and their lenses. The magazine is Photo Deal, which is highly recommended for everyone interested in classic cameras.  It provides well-informed and authoritative articles and high-quality illustrations.  To visit the Photo Deal website, click on their logo, to the right of this text. These articles are in German, but perhaps an on-line translator will enable non German speakers to get the gist (such translations are never wonderful!).
