The Exakta 66 vertical model is an SLR camera for 6×6 cm pictures on 120 film. It was made for only about a year from 1953-4 by Ihagee in Dresden, East Germany.[1] It replaced the earlier, horizontally-oriented Exakta 6×6 of 1951, which was withdrawn because of production problems.[1] It is completely different in design from that camera. The film is loaded in interchangeable backs, and runs vertically.
The camera has a focal-plane shutter with a very wide range for the period — 12 seconds to 1/1000th plus 'B' and 'T'. The speed is set with separate fast and slow speed dials on the right hand side of the body. The shutter is synchronised for flash, with a PC socket on the body.
A range of high-quality interchangeable lenses was made for the camera. The standard lens is an 80 mm f/2.8 Tessar. The lenses have helical focusing, and a bayonet mount.
The focusing screen, and the viewfinder structure are also interchangeable.[1] The standard finder is a folding waist-level hood, with a loupe and the facility to fold the front panel to form a frame finder, familiar on TLR cameras.
