Ihagee Exakta VX IIa (stereo outfit)
The Ihagee Exakta VX IIa is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera made in Dresden during the 1950s, part of the long-running Exakta line aimed at advanced amateur and professional users. A stereo outfit pairs the body with a stereo attachment and matched accessories so a single 35mm frame can be split into a left/right pair for stereoscopic viewing.
Hammer prices at UK auction for an Exakta VX IIa stereo outfit are thinly evidenced today, with a single recorded result of £400 in September 2025 setting the only firm reference point for what one currently sells for at saleroom level. Because that figure is a wholesale auction result rather than a dealer asking price, complete outfits with the original stereo attachment, viewer and case can be worth more once retailed, while incomplete groupings tend to fetch less.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Ihagee Exakta VX IIa stereo outfit worth at UK auction?
On the limited evidence available, a stereo outfit hammered at £400 in September 2025, which is the only recent UK auction price on file for this configuration.
How much does an Exakta VX IIa stereo outfit sell for compared with a standard VX IIa?
The stereo outfit price of £400 reflects the added value of the stereo attachment and accessories over a plain VX IIa body, but with only one data point the premium cannot be quantified precisely.
What affects the value of an Exakta VX IIa stereo outfit?
Completeness of the stereo accessories, working shutter speeds and cosmetic condition are the main drivers of price; missing stereo components materially reduce what the outfit will sell for.
