Ihagee's simplified Exakta-mount SLR — the Exa, all-mechanical, 1951.

The Exa was a 35mm film SLR introduced in 1951 by Ihagee in Dresden as a simpler, cheaper companion to the Exakta line. It shared the Exakta bayonet mount and the left-hand release tradition, but used a simplified shutter to reach a lower price, making it an entry point into the Exakta system.

It is a single-lens-reflex camera for 35mm film on the Exakta mount. Early Exa models used an unusual sector or flap shutter built into the mirror mechanism rather than a full focal-plane shutter, giving a limited range of speeds, and had no built-in meter, so the camera works entirely without a battery. The prism or waist-level finder is interchangeable.

It suits collectors and beginners drawn to a simple, historic all-mechanical SLR that accepts Exakta-mount lenses. Its limited shutter speeds and basic controls make it a modest user, best suited to unhurried shooting and to those interested in the Dresden SLR heritage.

On the used market the Exa is collectable and comparatively affordable, though Exakta lenses are limited in supply. As a fully mechanical body it works without a battery, so check the mirror-and-flap shutter mechanism for correct operation across its limited speeds, the mirror, and any light-seal foam. Inspect the finder and film transport, and note that these early Dresden cameras need specialist repair with parts increasingly scarce.
