Chronology of cameras Ihagee
The Exakta cameras are distinctive German cameras with an unmistakable style. They are built to last, as sturdy as tanks, and almost as heavy.
They were the first single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras with cloth shutter curtains and compact in size. When viewed from above, they have a trapezoidal shape. Manufactured in Germany, they survived through the Second World War. After the war, production resumed in Dresden, which was then in the Soviet-occupied zone, later becoming East Germany (GDR). Production ceased in 1970 with the VX 500.
Throughout their existence, the Exakta series underwent various changes in shape, design, and technical specifications, but they always remained true to their original spirit. An ultimate model was named the Exakta RTL 1000, but it was a model produced in the state-owned Pentacon factory and had no relation to the other Exakta cameras.
The Exakta name was also used for 6x6 format models.
This classification is based on "Exakta Cameras 1933-1978" by Aguila and Rouah, Hove Collectors Books.
The Exakta Junior is a simplified version of the Exakta A without slow speeds. The lens is not interchangeable and there is no self timer.
In front of the device is written "Exakta Jr" except for the type 1 (the first in the market) that bears the inscription "Ihagee"
