Immaculate Exakta Varex 11a, Meyer Lens & Waist Finder



























This sale is for an Immaculate Exakta Varex 11a Body (Serial Number 993414) that does also have a Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Domiron 2/50 lens but unfortunately this does have a small amount of fungus in it (as seen in the last picture)

I have not seen one of these cameras in such amazing condition considering its age and would make the most fantastic collectors piece as you can see from all of the actual pictures.

This also comes with not just the eye level prism viewfinder but also the very desireable waist level finder. I have included 24 pictures to do the justice this camera deserves. Please be aware of the fungus on the lens though as I want to be honest about the condition - body immaculate, finders excellent, lens poor (due to fungus)

At the time of this listing I also have 2 Exakta fit lenses for sale and if you buy one (or both) of them with this camera you can have 50% off the lens cost and will not need to pay any additional postage costs on the lenses.

Exakta Varex IIa

Exakta is one of the very first SLR cameras in the world. Original models were introduced in early Thirties. During the years several variants were made. This IIa was manufactured in 1958 - 1960 because the name Exakta is embossed on the front plate in relief, and not engraved as before. All together four different variants of IIa were manufactured between 1956 - 1960. A heavy and beautiful camera, which by some collectors is considered to be the prettiest in the whole Exakta line. And definitely, pretty it is. And I must say that I am happy to own one of almost in mint condition. The serial number of my camera is 900594 so, it might be version 4. In front of the serial number is marked VX IIa. On the American market, Exakta cameras were signed as VX instead of Varex which was a registered trade mark of Argus.

As a curiosity, Ihagee never made lenses of the own brand. Instead most of the contemporary lens manufacturers made lenses for Exakta. Some of them are very collectable to day. Exakta was quite expensive camera and it was used mostly by the professionals. When the competition came harder the price was crucially cut down. Times of the European made cameras begun to be up.
