Ihagee Exakta VX (Varex VX) (Varex X)

The Ihagee Exakta VX, also sold as the Varex VX or Varex X depending on market, is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced in Dresden, East Germany, during the 1950s. It is part of the Exakta system that dates to the 1930s and was positioned as a system SLR with interchangeable waist-level and prism finders.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Exakta VX have been modest, with the three recorded sales sitting in a tight £19–£25 band and a median around £20. These are wholesale saleroom results rather than retail prices, and today in 2026 condition, completeness of finder and presence of a working shutter are the main factors that shift what one sells for.
