AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exakta Varex (Jhagee Dresden) with Tessar 50mm f/3.5 + interchangeable viewfinders
A classic SLR camera, Exakta Varex, manufactured by Jhagee Dresden, one of the most emblematic devices of post-war German engineering and a precursor to modern SLR systems. It is the original VEREX pre-VX.
The camera includes:
- Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f/3.5 lens
- Waist-level finder
- Interchangeable prism finder
The Tessar is a classic 4-element optic, known for its sharp central detail, soft contrast, and its characteristic vintage “look.”
Condition:
The camera is in good overall cosmetic condition, with normal signs of use appropriate to its age.
NOTE - The mirror shows visible damage. This element affects only the view through the viewfinder, not the image formation on the negative. The trigger and shutter mechanism operate.
The lens is in good visual condition, with no evident lens damage (no guarantee of optical or mechanical accuracy due to age).
Observations:
This is a very interesting collectible piece, less common than the later VX models, ideal for both collectors and enthusiasts of classic analog photography.
It is sold as a vintage item without warranty, as shown in the images.
