The Ihagee Exakta VX 1000 is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera made in Dresden, East Germany, and sold as part of the Exakta line during the 1960s. It was positioned as a system SLR for enthusiasts, continuing the long-running Exakta family that helped popularise the 35mm reflex format.

At UK auction in 2025, hammer prices for the Exakta VX 1000 have been consistent, with two recorded sales at £62 each giving a median of around £62; an older Christie's result from 1999 reached £92. Today the camera sits in the entry-level collectable bracket at saleroom level, and what it sells for is closely tied to cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and the presence of a working lens.
