Kine Exakta 1 Round Magnifier w/Zeiss 50mm f/2.8 Tessar GOOD

Rare Kine Exakta 1 Round Magnifier w/Zeiss 50mm f/2.8 Tessar GOOD

The Kine Exakta might have been the first 35mm SLR camera. It was developed by Ihagee's engineer Karl Nüchterlein. The camera type was derived from the Ihagee EXAKTA for 127 rollfilm (4×6.5 cm images), an earlier SLR creation by Nüchterlein. The Kine Exakta was presented at the fair Leipziger Früjahrsmesse in spring 1936, one and a half years earlier than the Sport made by GOMZ.

Only the original 1936 version has the round magnifier in the viewing hood. A few subsequent models may be engraved Exacta.

Condition is GOOD. It shows some wear from use as expected for a 90 year old camera (see photos). Speeds sound accurate. Shutter curtain looks great.

Body has serial #485640.

The lens has smooth focus, no oil on the blades. It has some minor dust.

Comes with a leather eveready case.
