| Exakta is one of the very first SLR cameras in the world. First SLR for 35mm film came in 1936, the Kine Exakta. During the years several variants were made. This IIa was manufactured in 1957 - 1960 because the name Exakta is embossed on the front plate in relief, and not engraved as before. All together four different variants of IIa were manufactured between 1956 - 1960. A heavy and beautiful camera, which by some collectors is considered to be the prettiest in the whole Exakta line. Exakta was quite expensive camera and it was used mostly by the professionals. |
