The '''Exakta 66''' was an [[SLR]] camera taking twelve 6x6cm images on [[120 film|120]] (and later 24 on [[220 film|220]]) film. The original model was introduced c.1938 by [[Exakta]] in Germany. It featured interchangeable lenses, a waist-level viewfinder and a peculiar, very large advance lever built onto the base. The shutter had a very wide range for the period- 12 seconds to 1/1000th plus B. Later versions (made in the then East Germany) had a more conventional top-mounted lever wind, and maximum 1sec shutter speed.  The design changed radically through time; most were shaped more-or-less like a 35mm SLR, but the [http://www.peterlanczak.de/exakta66_52.jpg 1952 version] had the film running vertically - like a TLR with a lens missing!
