AI-gegenereerde samenvatting
Beschrijving van de verkoper
The Exa is a historic 35mm single-lens reflex camera introduced in the early 1950s by Ihagee Kamerawerk Steenbergen and Co in Dresden, East Germany. Conceived as a more accessible and compact sibling to the renowned Kine Exakta, the original Exa achieved iconic status thanks to its trapezoidal body design, interchangeable waist-level viewfinder system, and unusual guillotine mirror-shutter mechanism. Solidly built with precision German craftsmanship, well-preserved examples from Dresden remain highly sought-after centerpieces for collectors of early SLR innovation and mid-century camera design.
KEY FEATURES
Compact 35mm single lens reflex system with distinctive trapezoidal body
Interchangeable waist-level finder with fold-out focusing magnifier
Innovative mirror-shutter mechanism combining the reflex mirror and focal plane shutter
Standard Exakta bayonet lens mount accepting classic German optics
All-metal die-cast chassis wrapped in durable vulcanite covering
Completely battery-free mechanical operation
