What it is

Single lens reflex for 12 exposures 6x6cm on 120 rollfilm. f2.8 Tessar or Xenar. Pre‑war model – horizontal body style and film transport (like an overgrown Exakta A, B or C). Focal plane shutter, 12 sec to 1/1000.

— McKeown’s Price Guide, 1997–98, p. 201

{"overview":"The Ihagee Exakta 66 is a medium-format single-lens reflex camera producing 6×6cm frames on 120 roll film. 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.","buying_guide":"Inspect the cloth shutter for pinholes and tapering, check that all slow speeds run cleanly, and confirm the film transport advances and spaces frames correctly.

Questions

Is the Exakta 66 a 35mm or medium-format camera?

It is a medium-format SLR taking 120 roll film and producing 6×6cm frames, distinct from the 35mm Exakta bodies the Ihagee name is more commonly associated with.

Why does the price and value vary so much between examples?

Shutter condition, cosmetic wear, working meter/finder components and the presence of a lens all materially affect value, and the small sample of sales means one strong or weak example can shift the apparent range.
