Just picked up a nice Pentacon 6 with a 80mm lens and the Zies sonnar 180mm lens, it also has the waist level finder and the non metered prism. I see Martin has one of these as well .
 
They were nice cameras. I liked the couple I had because of the Zeiss lens quality and the fact that the film winding went from side to side which meant you could view the negatives in a normal manner instead of viewing side on.

I was lucky and the reputed winding problems that sometimes happened left me alone. The 110mm 2.8 Sonnar lens was a real gem.
 
Hi John yes I got a bargin on the 180mm lens £102.00 with postage, I completely stripped the lens and gave it a good clean, it had two fungus spots on the inside front lens that came out with a clean.
The camera is in excellent condition on the outside, its had all new leather fitted, I cleaned the mirror and the 80mm lens it came with so I need to shoot a film with it now to make sure all is good. It seems top be on the outside.

Yes I read about the winding problems, it seems if you keep the film tight on insertion it helps to mitigate this problem.
