Ihagee Exakta Real (black)
The Exakta Real (black) is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by the West German Ihagee-West operation, sold in a black-finish body. It was marketed as a higher-specification successor to the earlier East German Exakta line.
With only two UK auction hammer results on record, the Exakta Real (black) has sold for between £950 and £1,800, with a midpoint near £1,400 at saleroom level. These are wholesale hammer prices rather than retail, and as of 2026 the very thin sample size means any individual example's value today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness and whether the shutter and meter still function.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
