Kodak Ektra

{"overview":"The Kodak Ektra is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1941 as a high-end system camera with interchangeable lenses and interchangeable backs. As of 2026 the model remains thinly traded, so the value of any given body depends heavily on whether a matching lens and original accessories accompany it. Complete outfits sell for considerably more than bare bodies at auction level.","buying_guide":"The Ektra's complex shutter and rangefinder mechanism are prone to seizure after long storage, and servicing options are limited because few technicians still work on the model. Inspect the rangefinder patch for clarity, confirm shutter speeds fire at all settings, and check that the interchangeable back seats correctly.
