Cool camera. Shutter fires and mirror resets with film
lever - tested w no issues. The shutter
release is on the front right side, a soft press will preview aperture and a
full press will fire shutter - both work.
I fired this camera about eight times and no issues. The film lever is a little sticky but working
fine. Cosmetic condition is excellent but note that there is some contact info
inscribed on the lens and bottom of the camera - it was very easy to miss and I
didn't see it until I had the camera in our photography box.
I can see some dust
in view finder. Lens has no fungus, has
a little dust inside, but lens is nice and clear otherwise. Aperture was tested
and is working. Comes with original
case. Case is in incredible shape for 70 yrs old.
The Exakta Exa II
35mm camera was produced between 1959 and 1963. It was a popular choice among
amateur photographers for its versatility and affordability. The Exa II
featured a fixed pentaprism viewfinder, a cloth focal-plane shutter, and a
bayonet lens mount. It was also compatible with a wide range of Exakta lenses
and accessories.
