Video: The Ihagee Exakta 66 (vertical)

Post by melek »



In this week's video, I look at the Exakta 66 vertical. Given the opportunity again, I probably would buy this camera unless it was in the $200 range. It's an interesting camera, but that doesn't make it a great camera. I think that I need to shoot with it again to get a better feel for it as a user.

And here's the previous video on one of the smallest medium format (127 film) SLRs that I own.

Here's a photo of the film advance gears. Everything was fairly clean, so I really just had to lightly add some lubrication.

That's quite a substantial beast.

Are there any other lenses available?

Very interesting camera

It is on page 5 of this price list, with the lenses avialable:

Not a huge choice in ebay.
