Hi Andrew,
No, the Steinheil 85 is a simple manual lens, but works well. I also have
it in Leica Thread Mount. I think I have a Zeiss 135 in auto stop-down
mount, but it is in poor shape. Like you, I bought a kit, fitted in a
briefcase, many years ago when my eyesight made rangefinder use difficult.
Most of the items were quite old.
My Exa came from a local pawn shop. With it, I could mix and match finders
and lenses with the Exakta, until the larger camera died. Until film
processing became difficult to find, the Exa was a favorite as a walk-around
kit.
