Exakta VX SLR Kit - Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2 + 135mm Telephoto

Rare opportunity to own a fully operational piece of photographic history. This Ihagee Exakta Varex VX is not just a shelf queen—it is a working tool. This Dresden-made SLR was the world’s first truly systemic camera, and this specific set includes some of the most desirable West and East German glass ever produced. Condition Report: Everything Works Unlike most vintage units found in attics, this camera is fully functional: Shutter: Fires accurately at all speeds (Fast and Slow). Optics: Both lenses are clear. No fungus, no heavy haze, and no aperture blade oil. Mechanics: The unique left-hand shutter release and film advance are smooth. Viewfinder: The waist-level finder is clean and pops open/closes perfectly. Included in this Professional Lot: Exakta VX Body: Features the "1Q" (First Quality) export mark. A beautiful example of 1950s precision engineering. The Legend: Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2 (SN: (contact info removed)). Known globally for its "swirly bokeh," this lens is highly prized by mirrorless digital shooters and film purists. The Telephoto: 135mm f/4 German Telephoto. A stunning, "all-silver" aluminum barrel lens that produces incredible compression and "soap bubble" bokeh highlights. Extras: Original front caps and mounting hardware included. Why buy this kit?
