AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
Step into the world of East German photographic history with the Ihagee Exa (Version 4), a compact 35mm SLR camera crafted in the legendary city of Dresden. This camera is a simplified, more accessible version of the professional Exakta series, sharing the same iconic trapezoidal body and proprietary Exakta bayonet mount. It is equipped with a classic Jena T 50mm f/2.8 lens (a Carl Zeiss Tessar design), celebrated for its sharpness and distinct character.
Key Benefits
Access the vast world of legendary Exakta-mount vintage lenses.
Experience the unique "shutter-mirror" mechanism, where the mirror itself serves as part of the shutter.
Versatile viewing options with a modular, removable viewfinder system.
Robust, all-metal mechanical construction built to survive for decades.
Features
Camera Type: 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR).
Lens: Jena T 2.8/50 (Tessar design) with manual aperture and focus.
Lens Serial Number: 5999176.
Shutter: Vertical-travel "shutter-mirror" with speeds of 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/150, and Bulb.
Viewfinder: Interchangeable eye-level pentaprism.
Mount: Exakta/Exa bayonet mount.
Flash Sync: Dual PC-sync sockets on the front of the body.
Condition
Rated 3/5. The camera body is in fair to good vintage condition with visible cosmetic wear to the chrome and leatherette surfaces, consistent with regular use. Some minor oxidation or "pitting" is present on the metal parts. The Jena T lens appears clear externally, though some internal dust typical of vintage optics may be present. The mechanical shutter and film advance have not been film-tested.
What's Included
Ihagee Exa (Version 4) camera body.
Jena T 50mm f/2.8 (Carl Zeiss Tessar) lens.
Removable eye-level pentaprism viewfinder.
Why This Product?
The Ihagee Exa is an affordable entry point for those wishing to explore the rich history of the Exakta system. Its quirky, left-handed shutter release and unique mechanical design offer a tactile and engaging shooting experience that stands apart from more conventional SLRs of the era.
