What it is
{"overview":"The Ihagee Exakta 66 (horizontal, 1939) is a German medium-format SLR taking 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film, built in a horizontally-oriented body that distinguishes it from the later vertical Exakta 66 of the post-war era. With one data point, condition, completeness of the prism\/finder and presence of a working lens drive the price more than any headline figure, and a wider range cannot be quoted responsibly in 2026 without further results.","buying_guide":"Pre-war Ihagee shutters are the main concern: check that all slow and fast speeds run cleanly, that the cloth curtains are light-tight and not pinholed, and that the reflex mirror returns properly.

Questions
Why is the 1939 horizontal Exakta 66 priced differently from the later vertical model?
The 1939 horizontal body was made only briefly before the war, which makes surviving examples scarcer than the post-war vertical Exakta 66 and tends to support a higher price for collectors seeking the earlier variant.
