About

The Pentacon 6 is a medium-format system camera, an 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. The Soviet factory Arsenal made a closely related camera called Kiev 6 and later Kiev 60.
