AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Complete Exakta Varex IIb photographic set, iconic single-lens reflex manufactured by Ihagee in Dresden, serial number 1061585.
This camera is distinguished by its left-hand shutter release, characteristic of the Exakta brand, and by its great modularity. The mounted lens is a Jena Pancolar 50mm f/2, serial number 6864778.
The lot includes two interchangeable viewfinders, illustrating the versatility of the Exakta system: the standard pentaprism viewfinder, a waist-level viewfinder. The set is accompanied by its brown molded leather case, a textured orange leatherette carrying bag with buckle closure and shoulder strap, as well as the original user manual in German.
The overall condition shows normal use for a device of its era: some light wear on the chrome parts, patina on the leatherette coating, mechanical operation tested without film, it fires, the shutter operates correctly, speeds seem to function properly, the B and T settings as well. The optics are clear with no apparent haze.
The documentation shows the characteristic yellowing of vintage paper.
This complete set will appeal to collectors of classic German cameras or to practitioners of analog photography eager to experiment with a historical modular SLR system.
