Does anyone have experince with the Exacta 66 it has a good range of lenses.


Yes. They are about as reliable as Pentacon Six cameras that they are based on. They went through three design revisions during the time that Dr. Mandermann owned the company, but never really produced a reliable camera.

The main problem that kept the cameras from being successful in the marketplace was the pricing. The basic camera was pretty reasonable in price, but the much-hyped meter prism was priced absurdly high and the Schneider lenses were pretty pricey.
