Ihagee Exakta 66
The Ihagee Exakta 66 is a medium-format single-lens reflex camera producing 6×6cm frames on 120 roll film. It was built by the Dresden maker Ihagee, better known for its 35mm Exakta line, and positioned as a larger-format companion to those smaller-format bodies.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Exakta 66 have ranged from around £500 to £1,600, with a median near £920 based on the limited sales on record. Values are highly condition-sensitive, and because saleroom appearances are infrequent, what an example sells for today depends heavily on cosmetic state, shutter function and whether a lens is included; the wholesale auction level sits well below dealer asking prices for comparable pieces.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
