What it is
{"overview":"The Ihagee Exakta Diamant is a prototype camera from the German manufacturer Ihagee, the firm best known for the Exakta line of single-lens reflex cameras. Because that figure is wholesale at saleroom level (excluding buyer's and seller's commission), what a Diamant is worth today in 2026 depends almost entirely on provenance, completeness and the bidder pool on the day; a comparable example could realistically sell for a broadly similar five-figure sum or move materially in either direction.","buying_guide":"Prototypes by their nature are one-offs or near-one-offs, so any example offered should be assessed alongside documented provenance, period photographs or factory records before purchase.

Questions
Why is the price reference for the Diamant so limited?
Because the Diamant was a prototype rather than a production Exakta, surviving examples almost never come to market, so there is no meaningful range — only isolated data points.
