Pentacon Six (Kiev 60) Adapter
The Pentacon Six mount (also known as P6 mount, Kiev 60 mount or Exakta 66 mount) is a camera mount created by Carl Zeiss Jena for medium format lenses. First introduced with the Praktisix medium format camera it was later used for the Pentacon Six, the Kiev 60 and the Exakta 66 medium format cameras.
A wide range of highly affordable lenses exist for this mount. The main advantage of using these lenses on a modern digital camera is that focusing to infinity will always work (even on a Nikon F).
