What it is
{"overview":"The Exakta A is a 35mm-roll-format SLR from Ihagee of Dresden, introduced in the 1930s. Condition, completeness of the original lens, and a working cloth shutter heavily influence what one sells for, and clean pre-war black examples can command more than this lone data point suggests.","buying_guide":"Inspect the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes, tape repairs, and capping issues at faster speeds, as service parts for pre-war Ihagee bodies are scarce.
