I found one of these in a garage, a little bit of dirt on the lens, but the aperature is fine, however the focus won't move. Does anyone fix these/know how to get in contact with Sherry or DAG? I won't be able to fix it for a little bit, but I'd love to try it out.
Thanks,
Eric

I just bought one in Exakta mount so I can give you are report as soon as I get an Exakta body! I've used the Flexon (on Praktina) and Pancolar on Exkata and these are nothing short of stunning. I hear they are derivatives of the Biotar, but maybe an expert here can clarify this.

Yeah, this is nice because it is in 42mm so I can use it with my spotmatic and my k1000 and K10d
