Exa

The Exa is a range of 35mm SLRs developed by Ihagee. Exas are simple but reliable versions of the Exakta. Despite of the slow maximal shutter speed even the Exa I cameras were well designed for ambitious amateurs since these cameras had exchangeable viewfinder units and were sold with lenses of Meyer or Zeiss. Later models had fixed viewfinders but faster shutters. Some early Exas had been made by Rheinmetall, some late Exas by Certo.
