Hello! 

I just bought this lens with Exakta mount and looks almost identical with the one in pictures here. Diferences are:
- mine goes to f/22 not only f/16 (obviously, it is marked till f/22)
- distance inscription is only in feet.

I had put it on a Canon 5d mk4 with Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter - Exakta to EOS. Overall I like it very much; it is very sharp from f/4, but wide open it is only decent. Also at f/2.8 image it is a bit washout. Contre jour performance it is way under my expectation for a Zeiss glass. (WB on shade, jpg from camera)

The tests were brief as the adapter was borrowed. Anyway, my lens have a bit too much dust on internal lens and the focus is working a bit too hard. 

It is anyoine who knows how to open it to clean&grease the focus filets and to clean the lenses, please? Thank you!
