Very rare Exakta 80mm F/2.8 MC Schneider Lens Exakta 66 #14419340 Pentacon Six

Very rare variant of Carl Zeiss Biometar in Exakta 66 style manufactured by (supposedly) Schneider Kreuznach

It is stated by some vendors that this version of the Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar was manufactured in the Joseph Schneider factory.  However, evidence is contradictory. It is true that the external design matches that of the Schneider lenses for the Exakta 66. 

General information Exakta 80mm lens
It appears that this lens was manufactured by Joseph Schneider(Kreuznach).  The design matches that of the Schneider lenses for the Exakta 66. Its serial number follows Joseph Schneider conventions used with other lenses for the Exakta 66.  It is in the 14 millions.  Some sources indicate that this lens is in fact optically a Biometar, but manufactured now by Schneider, with of course their coating and serial numbers.  Examination of the lens indicates that this is probably the case.  The front of the lens barrel has been extended forward, to make it look more like the original Xenotar MF.  This adds a small amount to the weight, in comparison with the Biometar in Exakta 66 style, and also enabled the close-focussing range to be increased fractionally.
