Ihagee Exakta Real

The Ihagee Exakta Real is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera introduced in the mid-1960s. It was produced by the West German branch of Ihagee (Ihagee West, Frankfurt) rather than the original Dresden works, and had a short production life which limits surviving numbers today.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Exakta Real have ranged from around £530 to £3,000, reflecting both condition and the thin supply of examples coming to market. A 2024 saleroom result sat at £525, while earlier specimen sales reached into four figures; today the model's value is driven more by scarcity and completeness than by everyday usability. Because so few change hands, the price any given example sells for depends heavily on the individual auction and the buyers in the room.
