AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exakta VX500 analog SLR camera with Lydith 30mm f/3.5 – vintage DDR - maintenance requested
For sale: an Exakta VX500 analog 35mm SLR camera, produced in the former GDR (East Germany). Exakta cameras are known for their solid build quality and their important role in the history of single-lens reflex photography.
This camera is equipped with a Meyer-Optik Görlitz Lydith 3.5/30, a compact and high-quality 30mm wide-angle lens with Exakta mount. The Lydith is known for its sharp rendering and characterful vintage appearance.
Country:
The camera is in vintage condition, with normal signs of wear consistent with its age.
The mechanical operation works, but the shutter seems to need adjustment; it responds but not to every setting and sometimes doesn’t fire, so maintenance is needed. The mirror does flip up and down reliably, so it isn’t stuck.
The lens has light scratches on the front element; see photos. There is also a small amount of oil visible on the diaphragm blades.
The focusing and diaphragm rings rotate smoothly (hand-tested)
