Exa, Version 3, #245265, Rheinmetall Sommerda
Everything is clear: Ihagee has entrusted the production of the Exa to another company who wanted to exhibit its own share. These are things of other times, not like the 126 Fiat (a $5000 car)  made in Poland without the knowledge of the most part of Italian people! But we must consider that Ihagee was very busy to produce day after day the camera on those days up to date, the Exakta Varex, and all the accessories that were completing the system. For addition it must not be understimated that the Varex was costing around three times the Exa's price (which was every day decreasing). In those conditions it was easy to decide to choose it must be produced by another company. But this situation didn't last. To complete the usual discourse on the confusion and on the difficulty of characterizing the steps of the production by the details, the hinge of the Rheinmetall has yet its not removable spindle. The same as on the A&R notes, except the fact I have found this spindle on the first version! Please patience because there is, somewhere in the world, someone who knows everything and, before or then, he'll say it to us..
