What it is
The Rheinmetall Exa System is a 35mm SLR sold under the Rheinmetall brand, based on the East German Exa line that originated in Dresden in the 1950s. It was positioned as a simplified, lower-cost alternative to the contemporary Exakta, aimed at amateurs who wanted interchangeable-lens reflex photography without the price of a full system camera.
Inspect the cloth or metal shutter for pinholes and capping at higher speeds, check that the mirror returns cleanly, and confirm the waist-level finder screen is free of fungus and separation. Lenses and accessories carrying the Rheinmetall name are uncommon, so verify that any bundled optics actually mount and focus correctly, and budget for a CLA as professional service for these bodies is increasingly scarce.
