I have a Praktisix with Meter TTL, A Pentacon Six TL, Exakta 66 II, all with
the Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm 2,8, the Flektogon 50mm 4 and the
wonderful Carl Zeiss Sonnar 180mm 2,8, all multi coated, post war.
Herbert Keppler (Popular Photography, USA) tested this lens and wrote an
serious article about it, he say "are superb lenses, like the
bests".(Popular Photography, 1999).
I love them, like the Tessar 80mm 2,8 of my Super Ikonta.
But, reflex is another thing.

I just picked up a Praktisix, which is a Kamera-Werkstatten/Pentacon 6x6 slr resembling an Exakta 66 crossed with KW's 35mm Praktina. Shutter is FP, and lens is a postwar, coated CZ-Jena Biometar (a Biotar variant?) 80mm 2.8, #5594711. Will see if it remotely compares with 80mm 2.8 Tessar on Super Ikonta -- not likely!
I haven't directly compared to a Super Ikonta, but the Biometar on my Praktica 66 TL (later variant of the same camera) is exceptionally good.
