The Exa II is a completely revised [[Exa]] model, introduced by [[Ihagee]] in 1959. It has a fixed [[pentaprism]] finder and cloth focal-plane shutter. It is quite well built, but has a few quirks: At the camera back is a small lever locking the shutter release button when in its right-hand position, and the film rewind release button, at the top next to the wind-on lever, must be depressed while rewinding. Otherwise there is not much to be surprised about, but since the mirror does not return after exposure, the shutter curtain is susceptible the sun burning holes in it, so don't direct the lens against the burning sun for very long. | The Exa II is a completely revised [[Exa]] model, introduced by [[Ihagee]] in 1959.

The Exa II is a completely revised Exa model, introduced by Ihagee in 1959. It has a fixed pentaprism finder and cloth focal-plane shutter. It is quite well built, but has a few quirks: At the camera back is a small lever locking the shutter release button when in its right-hand position, and the film rewind release button, at the top next to the wind-on lever, must be depressed while rewinding. Otherwise there is not much to be surprised about, but since the mirror does not return after exposure, the shutter curtain is susceptible the sun burning holes in it, so don't direct the lens against the burning sun for very long.
