This lens is fitted with the outer Exakta bayonet mount, not the more common Exakta inner mount used by most Exakta adapters. Please ensure you understand this before purchasing.
As far as I am aware, there are no commercially available adapters that convert this particular outer bayonet mount to modern DSLR or mirrorless camera mounts. In its present form it is therefore intended for use on compatible Exa/Exakta cameras.
The rear mount is attached by three screws and can be removed. If you are able to source an alternative mount for this lens (such as M42 or Pentacon Six), it should be a straightforward mechanical swap. Alternatively, anyone with suitable machining facilities could manufacture or modify a replacement mount. This information is provided for completeness rather than as a guarantee of compatibility.
