The Ihagee Exa is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera made in Dresden as a simplified, lower-cost companion to the Exakta line. It was introduced in the early 1950s and aimed at amateur photographers who wanted SLR viewing without the full feature set of the Exakta.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Ihagee Exa have sat in a narrow £25–£45 band, with a median around £30 in today's market. These are saleroom wholesale figures rather than dealer retail, and clean, working bodies with a matched lens tend to sell for the upper end of that range while rough examples struggle to reach £30.
