Ihagee Exakta Jr.
The Ihagee Exakta Jr. is a 127 roll-film single-lens reflex made by the Dresden firm Ihagee in the 1930s. It sat as a simpler, lower-cost member of the Vest Pocket Exakta family aimed at amateur photographers of the period.
With only one tracked UK auction hammer result, the Exakta Jr. sells for modest money at saleroom level today, with a 2024 example fetching £63 — that single data point is the best current guide to what the camera is worth. Hammer prices for these pre-war Ihagees are wholesale levels achieved before commission, and condition, shutter function and completeness of the original lens have a strong effect on value.
