Description from the seller

The Ihagee Exakta VX1000, manufactured in Dresden between 1966 and 1970, represents one of the final iterations of the legendary VX series.

This VX1000 model is highly regarded for its refined, more angular design compared to its predecessors, while maintaining the exquisite mechanical complexity that has made Exakta a cornerstone of any serious vintage camera collection.

KEY FEATURES

Unique left-hand shutter release and film advance lever
