Ihagee Exakta A (Original) black

The Exakta A is a 35mm-roll-format SLR from Ihagee of Dresden, introduced in the 1930s. The original black-finished version sits among the earliest single-lens reflex cameras for roll film and is a pre-war collector item rather than a user camera.

Auction data for the original black Exakta A is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from 2022 closed at £94, so today's price guidance for what an Exakta A is worth at auction rests on a very small sample. 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.
