Ihagee Exakta 66 (vertical) (1948)

The Ihagee Exakta 66 (vertical) is a medium-format single-lens reflex camera introduced in 1948, taking 6×6cm negatives on 120 roll film. It was a post-war redesign with an upright body layout, positioned as a professional medium-format SLR for studio and advanced amateur use.

At recent UK auction, the vertical Exakta 66 has sold for hammer prices between roughly £800 and £840, with a median around £820 — these are saleroom results before buyer's premium, not dealer retail. A historic 2004 sale at £1,490 sits well above the current band, and in today's market a clean, working example with a good Tessar or Biometar is typically what drives values toward the upper end of that range.
