I keep it for sentimental value but just the other day bought an Angenieux 35mm F2.5 lens for it -- which should arrive in the mail later this week. I will use the Exacta some at that point. The lenses my grandfather had for the camera ( and which I have) is a Zeiss 50/2 Pancolar and some kind of 50mm macro that goes down to 1:1. Just got to get use to that left-hand operation.
