Ihagee Exakta Junior

The Exakta Junior is a film camera produced by the German manufacturer Ihagee of Dresden. Ihagee's Exakta line, introduced in the 1930s, established the single-lens reflex format for 35mm and roll-film photography, and the Junior sat as a more basic offering within that family.

UK auction hammer results for the Exakta Junior are thin, with only two recorded sales of £300 and £440, giving a range of roughly £300–£440 and a midpoint around £370. As of 2026 this is a seldom-offered model, and what an example sells for today is highly sensitive to cosmetic condition, shutter function, and whether a usable lens is included; confirmed fresh comparables would be needed to establish a reliable current value.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Exakta Junior worth today?

Based on the two UK auction hammer prices on file, examples have sold for between £300 and £440, though with so few data points the true current market value could sit outside that band.

How much does an Exakta Junior sell for at auction?

Recorded hammer prices are £300 and £440, so a clean working example has historically fetched in the low-to-mid hundreds of pounds at UK saleroom level, before commission.

Is the Exakta Junior a good user camera?

It can be, provided the shutter and mirror are sound, but given its age buyers should expect to have the camera serviced and should price accordingly.
