AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Auction proposal: an interesting analog combination that blends the charm of the German reflex Exa 1b with the famous rendering of the Soviet Helios 44-2 lens. The Exa 1b, produced in East Germany (Dresden) during the 1970s and 1980s, is known for its versatility and for the M42 screw mount, which makes it extremely practical for using a wide range of optics.

Main features:

Camera: Exa 1b, sturdy body with a waist-level finder (interchangeable), vertical focal-plane shutter mechanical.
Lens: Helios 44-2 58mm f/2, iconic Soviet-derived lens, renowned among creatives for its characteristic "swirly bokeh" (spiraling out-of-focus) and cinematic rendering.

Condition: the equipment presents itself in good aesthetic condition, as clearly visible in the attached photographs, which detail every part of the lot.

This pairing is perfect both for those who want to start experimenting with film photography and for collectors seeking a set with distinctive character and unique optical rendering, impossible to replicate with modern lenses.

Sales statement:
The product you will receive will be exactly what is viewed in the attached photographs. We apologize for any inaccuracies or errors in this description, as it was generated with the support of artificial intelligence systems.

Please carefully review all attached photographs, an integral part of the description, to assess the condition of the item.
