Product description
Legendary German Exa Camera (Ihagee Dresden, 1950s, East Germany) + Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 2.8/50 Lens – Mechanically Functional. Up for sale is a unique piece for collectors and traditional photography enthusiasts – a classic Exa single-lens reflex camera, manufactured in the 1950s in Germany (East Germany) by the renowned Ihagee Dresden factory. At the heart of the set is the legendary, fast Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:2.8 f=50 mm lens with a distinctive aluminum barrel. The camera works with standard 35mm film (type 135). About Ihagee Dresden: Founded in Dresden in 1912 by Dutch entrepreneur Johan Steenbergen, Ihagee (Industrie- und Handelsgesellschaft) has made a name for itself in the history of world photography. It was there that the famous "Exakta" was created – the world's first mass-produced single-lens reflex camera using 35mm film. The Exa was designed as its smaller, lighter, and more portable sibling, while retaining its unique, exceptionally elegant design and interchangeable viewfinder system (including the characteristic chimney). Technical and visual condition: Mechanical: The camera is in good mechanical condition. The shutter cocks properly and responds dynamically (clicks) to the trigger. The focus and aperture rings on the lens operate smoothly. The device has not been tested with photographic film. Visual: Very good condition, visible in the original photos (so-called "real photos"). The metal finishes, lettering, and body veneer are clean, without any defects. Dimensions: Camera dimensions in the case: approx. 10 x 15 x 10 cm. Its compact size makes it an ideal decoration on a shelf, desk, or in a collector's display case. Included: Exa Ihagee Dresden analog camera. Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 2.8/50 lens. Original, hard, brown leather case with a shoulder strap (interior lined with red material to protect the optics).
