The Pentacon 6 is a medium format system camera, a SLR that takes 6×6 pictures on 120 film. It has been called an "SLR on steroids". Its predecessor was KW's Praktisix with which it shares the bayonet mount. The famed Carl Zeiss Jena plant made lenses for this Pentacon Six mount.
A basic kit consists of an 80mm/2.8 Biometar lens, a simple matte screen and a waist-level finder. Since this is a system camera, lenses from a 30mm fisheye to a 1000mm mirror objective are available. Lenses are still made and sold by Arsenal in Kiev (Arsat brand) and Czech Hartblei. On eBay excellent Carl Zeiss Jena and Schneider lenses can be found at reasonable prices. A variety of viewing screens, from simple matte to grids or fresnel screens, are available. The waist-level finder can be replaced by non-metered or metered prism finders.
