In short
EXAKTA VARIOPLAN MC 1: 4.0-5.6 f = 28-200mm is an old universal zoom lens from the 80s. At one time, such zooms seemed like something incredible, because the XNUMXx zoom was a very great achievement for those times. The lens uses design PUSH-PULL (trombone). This review shows the Nikon F mount version.
In the review, I visited a poorly working instance with obvious optical problems, and therefore I will only walk superficially on EXAKTA VARIOPLAN MC 1: 4.0-5.6 f = 28-200mm.
At one time, the EXAKTA brand had a legendary status, for example, in the 50s it was one of the best mirror systems. Nowadays EXAKTA is better known for its 'EXAKTA' mount, for which lenses from various renowned manufacturers, for example, from Carl Zeiss, were produced.

Assembly, control, focus
Lens body made with high quality. The piston ring is rubberized with hard material. When changing the focal length, the rear lens of the lens moves. When changing the focal length, the lens length changes.
One ring is responsible for focusing and changing the focal length. To change the focal length, pull or push the piston ring, to focus - rotate it.
The focus ring rotates approximately 135 degrees by 200 mm of focal length and 90 degrees by 28 mm of focal length. Focusing is smooth and comfortable. The minimum focusing distance depends on the selected focal length. If you set the MDF equal to 200 meters at 1.8 mm of the focal length and decrease the focal length, the focus ring will automatically rotate towards increasing the focus distance.
During focusing, the front lens rotates and extends forward together with the filter frame. On the body there is a focus distance scale and a mark for working in the infrared spectrum, as well as a depth of field scale.
EXAKTA VARIOPLAN MC 1: 4.0-5.6 f = 28-200mm changes the focal length under the weight of its own piston. Effect spontaneous piston movement on the copy from the review expressed very strongly.

Sample Photos
The lens is most likely broken. The right side of the frame falls through, and it is also impossible to achieve a sharp image at some focal lengths and open apertures. In any case, it is clear that something is wrong with the lens. But still we tried to get at least some shots.
Sample photos helped prepare the photographer Natalya Romanenko (500px). Convert RAW source files with Nikon D700 the original Nikon Capture NX-D v 1.4.6 utility.
All photos below are shown without processing. Camera used Sony a3500. All photos are on-camera JPEG. Picture control mode 'Portrait 0/0/0'.
On this camera I used a lens with a conventional adapter Nikon F -> Sony NEX / Alpha.

Thanks for the review! As always informative and to the point)
I still wanted to know at what focal lengths the problems arose.
We heard from the open apertures, probably this defect is typical for all focal ...
Or is it not so?
different flaws at all, sharpness completely disappears on medium and body. Once again, this is simply an unsuccessful instance, in the group Radozhiva on Facebook already noted that an unbroken lens behaves wrong.
Sergei, no need to guess - it's just that someone was unsuccessfully digging into it ...
... but the lens itself is beautiful :)
Wow, what a rare! I have not seen such a thing. Here the problem is similar to the delamination of some kind of gluing inside or enlightenment is eaten somewhere
I have such a lens, albeit under a different name - Cambron / Quite a good lens for my money, quite sharp and contrast
I got one yesterday, only with a macro ... How to turn on a macro?
Found - turns to the right.
