Ihagee Exakta II

The Ihagee Exakta II is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced in Dresden during the early 1950s. It continued the pre-war Kine Exakta line, retaining the trapezoidal body, left-hand shutter release and waist-level finder that defined the series.

Hammer prices at UK auction for the Exakta II have spanned roughly £19 to £120, with only a small number of recorded results to anchor a median. In today's market the camera sells for modest sums at saleroom level, and values are highly condition-sensitive — a working shutter with a clean finder and a clean original lens will lift the price, while haze, slow curtains or missing parts push an Exakta II's worth down toward the lower end of that range.
